The programme comes on CD and can be personalised for your facility. It is then a straightforward matter to put the policies and procedures into practice in your facility.
It is imperative to have the right policies in place because of the audits that are undertaken to ensure compliance of our service. These documents make things very understandable and it is easy to record the evidence of what you actually do on the floor.
