Workplace Restart After Summer: Your Health & Safety Refresher

03 Sep 2025

Published in: Member News
September isn’t just back-to-school season — it’s also back-to-business season. As teams return from summer holidays, it’s the perfect time to check: are your workplace safety measures still up to scratch?

As staff return from summer holidays, September is the perfect time to press reset on workplace health & safety.

Too often, procedures slip during busy periods, but a quick review now can make all the difference.

Here are three areas every business should look at this month:

First Aid Cover

  • Do you still have enough trained first aiders on every shift?
  • Are certificates up to date?
  • Is your kit fully stocked?

Fire Safety 

  • When was your last fire drill?
  • Are your wardens confident and their equipment in good working order?

Accident Reporting

  • Are records up to date, secure, and GDPR-compliant?
  • Do staff know how to report near misses as well as accidents?


Taking the time to check these areas keeps you compliant with HSE requirements, reduces risks, and reassures employees that their well-being is taken seriously.

At HMB Training Services, we provide accredited, practical training in first aid, fire safety, and workplace health & safety. Whether your team needs a refresher or full certification, we’ll make sure your staff feel confident and your business stays compliant.
