Health & Safety Consultancy

Is your business protected against fines for breach of Health & Safety?

Did you know that whether you employ 2 or 20 people, by law, you are required to assess the significant risks in your workplace and appoint First Aiders where required? Failure to do this could result in a workplace accident and unlimited financial implications for you and your business.

An accident in your workplace could result in significant fines for breach of Health & Safety legislation. As well as wanting to manage Health & Safety effectively and comply from a legislative point of view, managing the safety of your employees, customers and other visitors is a key requirement for our clients.

Health & Safety statistics You're not alone
Even now despite strict regulations and warnings from governing bodies like the HSE, things still go wrong for employers and their employees. In 2007/08 the UK working population suffered:

• Workplace deaths: 229 workers were killed in the workplace.
• Workplace injuries: 299,000 reportable injuries made to the HSE.
• Workplace sickness: 2.1 million people suffer from illness caused or made worse by current or past work.
• Working days lost: 34 million days lost overall due to workplace injury or ill health.

These statistics from the HSE not only confirm the impact to industry as a whole, but also stresses the importance of correctly implementing Health & Safety policies within your business.
