Health and Safety Policy

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

All organisations are bound by a legal duty to have in place suitable arrangements to ensure the management of health and safety.

“The management of health and safety should be part of the everyday process of running an organisation and behaviours and attitudes developed so good workplace safety becomes a second nature to everyone.”

Our Chartered Health and Safety Consultants will help you from your intial enquiry, to discuss your specific needs. If you then decide to proceed we will create your bespoke policy, (safety management system). In addition to supporting the day to day management of health and safety within your organisation, your policy could be used to meet with the requirements of Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) such as CHAS etc. and support your organisation with becoming certified to ISO 45001:2018.

This service can be made available as a one off purchase or with a support package depending on your requirements.

Please connect with us so one of our consultants can contact you to discuss ways in which we can help.
