HR & Health and Safety
What are the 3 main reasons for having Health & Safety Policies and Procedures in place for your organisation?
- Financial Benefits - Protect your company from costly incidents and fines
- Moral Responsibility - As an employer, it is your responsibility to ensure that you provide a safe working environment for your employees
- It's the Law - You have a legal responsibility for the health, safety and welfare of your employees, your customers, visiting contracts and anyone else visiting your premises
Failure to have a written Health and Safety Policy can lead to workplace injuries and large fines, both major disruptions for any company. They can even cripple an organisation, or worse, put it out of business.
Developing Health & Safety Policies and Procedures may seem daunting, but we are here to provide you with consultant support, making the process manageable from start to finish.
Health And Safety Audits
We can assess your current legal compliance, providing a prioritised list of recommendations on everything from simple actions that you can do in-house, through to complex actions that we can assist you with, if necessary.
Bespoke Risk Assessments
You have a legal duty to assess and manage risks. This includes carrying out and documenting risk assessments to identify hazards that can cause injury and to establish steps for minimising or removing risks. Our qualified experienced practitioners can carry out risk assessments on your behalf, for the purpose of developing your Health & Safety Policy. We can also train you in how to carry-out your own risk assessments.
Health And Safety Policies
Did you know that if you employ five or more people you have a legal obligation to have a written Health and Safety Policy? We can offer accredited and bespoke written Health & Safety policies, whatever your need, and whatever the needs of your organisation, so that you can feel completely confident that every aspect of your business is covered.
Health And Safety Management Systems
We can provide fully tailored Health & Safety management systems to suit your operations. They include all fire and risk assessments and offer the benefit of allowing you to maintain the system in-house.
Ongoing Health and Safety support
Did you know that the law says all businesses must have access to competent health and safety advice? This can be in-house if you have someone who has the necessary knowledge, skills and experience; but if you don't we can provide you with the right level of support for your business on a retained basis. For a modest monthly fee, our retainer offers you ongoing, flexible and practical telephone and email support, priority responses and many more benefits.
First Aid Training
You appreciate the importance of having an appointed first aider in your company. But did you know that from 1st October 2009, new HSE guidance gives employers more options of how to comply with the law? As a minimum all businesses must carry out an assessment of their first aid needs and provide an Appointed Person. Our qualified, HSE-approved First Aid and Defibrillation Instruction Assessor can provide the appropriate First Aid training and assessments for your company.
Health And Safety training
Businesses have to make sure that all employees have the right information and instruction to be able to do their job safely. We offer a wide range of training solutions including IOSH and CIEH accredited courses in working and managing safely, manual handling, risk assessment, and COSHH. We can also provide you with bespoke training to manage your specific hazards, such as fire safety, electricity or working at height.
