36 million days were lost in 2006/7, 30 million due to work-related ill health and 6 million due to workplace injury.
Accidents and ill health at work can cost money and ruin lives. Good health and safety is good business - and it's the law.
All businesses must have someone competent to help you meet your health and safety duties. Our Competent Person Service is designed to provide you with the support you need to help you to operate in a way that respects and protects the health and safety of your staff.
Health & Safety Policy
Our Business Environment Support Team can help you to formulate a health and
safety policy which sets out your general approach and objectives (your vision)
and the arrangements you have put in place for managing health and safety
in your business. It is a unique document that says who does what, when and
how, and should be reviewed regularly.
Risk Assessment
A risk assessment is a systematic review of how you eliminate and control each
significant hazard, and whether you are doing enough. Risk assessment demonstrates
that you are acting upon the objectives set out in your policy. Our Business
Environment Support Team can help you to identify such issues and put measures
in place to eliminate or minimise the risks.
Training
We offer a comprehensive range of health and safety training courses to help
you to develop your workforce and to implement best practice throughout your
business.

risks and help you to put measures in place to minimise them.
