Good H&S practice reduces
accidents, ill-health and staff absentism, improves morale
and company image and avoids enforcement action being taken
against your business which could result in heavy fines,
imprisonment or to closure of your business.
Some people avoid taking action in regard to H&S because
they wrongly fear that it may be very costly or
time-consuming, but this is often not the case.
Examples of successful
prosecutions made include:-
- Director of a
manufacturing business banned from directing any company
for 5 years plus a fine of £17,000 + costs for various
breaches of H&S. His company is now in administration.
- Company fined
£75,000 + £37,500 costs following a head injury an
employee suffered.
Using our consultancy service and expertise we work with you
carrying out as much, or as little, of this work as you
require yet guiding you throughout. We assist with the
writing of H&S policies and the carrying out of risk
assessments in plain language, avoiding the use of jargon.
