Employer's obligations regarding Health & Safety at work
Health and Safety legislation demands that employers ensure they are managing health and safety effectively within their organization. All employers must appoint one or more competent persons to assist them in complying with the requirements.
This will ensure your company is:
- More profitable
- More productive - less time lost due to accidents / work-related sickness and increased worker morale
- Paying less in insurance premiums
- Perceived by your customers and clients as progressive and forward thinking
- Providing a safe working environment for your personnel and visitors
- Legally compliant, giving peace of mind
- Unlikely to suffer fines and prosecutions
We provide the following services in connection with Health and Safety at work:
- SPA ‘Quarry’ Safety Passport for Contractors
- Identification and carrying out of basic training
- Legal advice and specific problem queries
- Compliance audit against current legislation
- Risk Assessment specific to your business
- Policy and Procedure formulation
- Job-specific risk assessment, method statements and safe systems of work
- Accident investigation and statutory reporting
- CDM co-ordination under CDM (Construction Design and Management) Regulations
- Regular audit and review of your business
- Creation of safety induction DVDs
A typical small business sampling fact-finding exercise to identify legal non-compliance, with report, would cost around £700.
Subsequent generation of a detailed company Policy and Procedure Manual would typically cost £700.
Additionally we can offer our competent support package for a regular monthly fee*, this may include: -
- On line advice and support, night / day 365 days per year
