Health and Safety
Why Should You Choose a Health and Safety Consultant?
Ensuring that your business meets all the requirements of UK Health and Safety law can take time; time that you may not always have when running a business. Not all businesses can afford to employ someone full time to manage Health and Safety. This is where engaging a Health and Safety consultant makes sense and can help you improve your Health and Safety standards and compliance with UK Health and Safety law.
Our Health and Safety consultants keep you up to date with all relevant Health and Safety regulations while providing accurate, technical and easy-to-understand Health and Safety advice for an affordable monthly retainer, so you can focus on running your business.
Any business with five or more employees in the UK is legally required to have:
- A record of a health and safety policy.
- A risk assessment document that covers all significant workplace hazards.
- Access to professional health and safety advice, either internally or through an external consultant.
- A health and safety manual that details the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of all health and safety arrangements in the workplace.
- Sufficient training for all members of staff.
Failure to comply with Health and Safety regulations can result in hefty fines, disqualifications and suspensions, and even prison sentences, not to mention a tarnished reputation. SMS Europe can help you to meet all these requirements and keep your business on the right side of the law.
Not only that, but hiring health and safety consultants can bring about many more tangible benefits to your business. It can improve efficiency and productivity, reduce workplace-related accidents and absenteeism, and provide your employees with the peace of mind that their safety and wellbeing are being looked after. When a company has an effective Health and Safety policy in place, you can tell straight away when you walk onto their premises. And when they don’t, it’s perhaps even more noticeable.
