'Competent Person' - Under UK law* employers have a duty to ensure they have competent safety advice. Where this is not sufficiently available internally, it is often helpful to seek external support - such as Assured Safety and Health, a registered Occupational Safety & Health Consultantcy (http://www.hse.gov.uk/oshcr/index.htm). You can relax knowing that you will be treated within a framework which reflects IOSH professionally agreed standards.
* Regulation 7 of the Management Health Safety At Work Regulations 1999 - (1) Every employer shall,…appoint one or more competent persons to assist him in undertaking the measures he needs to take to comply with the requirements and prohibitions imposed upon him by or under the relevant statutory provisions and by Part II of the Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations 1997.

Risk Assessment - An essential aspect of H&S for any employer, risk assessment is a structured look at activities in the workplace. By identifying who could be harmed and how, then further identifying measures to minimise the chances of this, risks can be eliminated in the first instance. Obviously this has benefits to everyone if undertaken effectively. We aim to ensure you have risk assessments that are both suitable and sufficient to your needs.

Fire Risk Assessment - Under current legislation (England & Wales), the employer is often the ‘responsible person’ in terms of fire safety, and as such obliged to make a “suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks….. for the purpose of identifying the general fire precautions he needs to take..” We help you through this process taking into account your unique circumstances and thinking through your particular requirements. Working to identified standards we provide you with a thorough assessment covering all aspects of your workplace. We can support further with developing and training staff in the necessary procedures. Call us to find out more- 020 8873 0976

Insurance investigation - Following a significant loss incident, insurance companies will be quick to ask for information against a possible claim.

It allows you to engage in constructive discussions and provides the reassurance both they and your company might need.
