Services / Health and Safety
What if your health and safety came from the same people as your HR?
Based in Caterham, Surrey, and working across London, the South East and the UK.
Health and safety sits right next to HR: the same people, the same policies and often the same problems. We provide it with our specialist health and safety partner, so you have one point of contact for both.

The law in brief
Every business must have a policy for managing health and safety. If you have five or more employees, you must write it down and share it with them.
Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, you must identify what could cause injury or illness, decide how likely and how serious the harm could be, and act to remove or control the risk.

A policy downloaded years ago, risk assessments nobody has looked at since and a first aid box in the kitchen. It usually holds until something goes wrong, then the gaps show at once.
None of it is hard to fix, and it is much easier before an accident than after one.
What we cover
Take one piece or the whole set. Every piece of work is quoted and agreed before it starts.
A policy written for your workplace that says who does what, when and how, and that your team has been shown.
Workplace and role risk assessments, with practical actions to remove or control each risk, and a record you can show.
A visit to your premises to see how things really work, with a clear list of what to fix first.
Essentials for your team, in person or online, with a record of who completed what.
Lone workers, display screen work, manual handling and the risks particular to your sector.
What to do after an accident at work, including whether it must be reported under RIDDOR.
Help to gain the safety accreditations buyers ask for, such as SSIP schemes including Constructionline and Acclaim.
Checking the contractors and specialists you bring in are suitable and competent before they start.
Measuring safety leadership, engagement and wellbeing with the Health and Safety Index, then acting on what it shows.
Why with your HR
Plenty of people problems start as safety questions, and plenty of safety problems end up as people problems. Having both in one place means nothing falls between two advisers.

Every business must have a policy for managing health and safety. If you have five or more employees, you must write it down and share it, and any changes, with your employees. If you have fewer than five, you do not have to write it down, but it is useful to do so. (Source: Health and Safety Executive.)
