The Cost of going at it alone
If you’ve been fortunate enough to never encounter a serious health and safety incident, you may be surprised to find out just how significant the cost of non-compliance can be.
Financial penalties, human cost, loss of productivity, and reputational damage are all repercussions of poor health and safety compliance.
So, to avoid running into any health and safety issues it can be a good idea to leverage a health and safety company to dramatically reduce risk to your workforce and fundamentally help to protect your business.
Why leverage to begin?
In most cases. the primary reason for companies outsource their health and safety is because they don’t have the expertise required to manage it internally.
Health and safety (audit) done properly will save you business money, by reducing the risk of accidents and ill health, production delays, temporary staff needed, loss of contracts, legal costs, and so on.
However, not all health and safety need to be outsourced; train an in-house member to become a competent person who will have the necessary knowledge and expertise to keep your company compliant with the law.
Get an expert in to:
Review your policies, procedures, and working practices to establish where you fall short of your legal obligations;
Prepare a bespoke Health & Safety Policy and Health & Safety Handbook tailored to your organisation;
Provide you with a Prioritised Safety Action Plan that lists everything that needs to be done in order to get you where you need to be; and
Revisit your premises to keep you up to date.
