Our aim at the 'National Health and Safety Company' is to ensure that you remain within the law. Whether you have two employees or two hundred, Health & Safety and Employment Law issues within the workplace are very important to all small businesses and not just to the large organisation. You may think that the concern of Health & Safety/Employment Law has been covered to an appropriate level in your business but there are still things that many people are unaware of. This includes completing all Risk Assessments, COSHH assessments, Disability Access Audits, Fire Risk Assessments, to name but a few.
Our Prime aim is your legislative compliance with Health & Safety in the workplace; and as such we will provide cover for you on all the legislative issues that are common to most businesses.
We will further highlight your responsibilities, as a manager, owner, director, to cost effectively integrate Health & Safety into your business so that you (and your staff) are confident of a safe working environment.
Why is Health & Safety Important to the Small Businesses or organisation?
Your employees/workers/volunteers have legal rights to work in safe conditions with a regard to personal health and it is therefore important that you offer them this sort of working environment: failing to do so can result in personal injury, disease or general poor health.
Your Responsibilities as an Employer
The Health & Safety at Work Act, 1974 states that it is your responsibility to protect the health, safety and welfare of yourself, your employees, and people that may be affected by what you do. Such people include:
· Visitors to your workplace
· The public that use your product or service
· Neighbours
In other words, you need to control the risks that arise in the workplace and from the work itself that may result in poor health or injury.
It is therefore your responsibility to acknowledge a risk assessment that may be completed by other people in the business or by an outside consultancy company like ours, but will have your approval. If you employ five or more people, then you need to have a written Health & Safety policy which should be brought to the attention of all employees.
You should provide equipment to deal with hazards such as fire, chemical spills, broken glass, or anything that is specific to your business. Likewise, it is important that you provide safety equipment that will reduce the risk of injury or illness, say protective eye goggles or simply mouse pads that are specifically designed to reduce the risk of repetitive strain injury.
We will keep you on the right track with our 'Hands on' guidance and support in the completion of the necessary Risk, COSHH, and Disability Access audit assessments. Our aim is ensure you have the benefit of a National company with the assurance of a local delivery of service - at a price that is in the realms of your business budget. We take pride in ensuring you achieve and maintain compliance with current / future H&S legislation.
Our aim is ensure your present and future compliance with all Health and Safety Legislation. To ensure you, your staff and the public you come in contact with remain safe within the operation of your business. To monitor and control an effective system of work that will reduce the possibility of serious accidents happening within your workplace. To ensure that a better more effective Health and Safety system is in place thus saving you thousands of pounds in possible payouts.
