For New Companies and those new to Health & Safety

You have recognised the need to manage health and safety effectively, but perhaps you're not quite sure how, or where to begin. We can help with:

• Basic health and safety awareness
• Preparing a health and safety policy and arrangements
• Training you or carrying out hazard identification and risk assessment

For Companies with some Health & Safety measures in place

You may already have the basics of health and safety in place, but for a number of reasons (e.g. business expansion, insurance company requirements) you wish to formalise them. We can offer to:

• Prepare policies, manuals, procedures
• Audit your systems
• Support your 'Competent Person'- or, if you do not have anyone suitable we can fulfil this role for you

For Companies with established H&S systems that need some improvement

You may have internally or externally generated pressures for continuous improvement in health and safety, perhaps based on the safety management systems described in OHSAS18001 or HS(G)65. We can work with you to:

• Set up a strategy
• Develop objectives and targets
• Prioritise action plans
• Improve communications and effectiveness

If your problem is not covered here, please contact us to see if we can work together to resolve it. Contact Elaine Gillingham, Director of Health and Safety.
