Why Manage Safety?
Imagine the cost of non-compliance
Thriving businesses manage health and safety because it is one of the key elements that makes them successful.
Managing safety is the law. Quite simply, keeping on the right side of the law and out of court leaves you free to focus on running your business and reduces the risk of increasingly heavy fines, as well as protecting your reputation.
Managing safety improves your business’ overall safety and reduces workplace accidents and injuries. There will be fewer accidents, fewer people will get hurt and need time off, managers will spend less time investigating accidents, employee engagement improves and productivity increases.
We should all expect to be able to go home at the end of our working day without being injured or our health made worse just because of our work. It's immoral to put people at unnecessary risk. Your policy shows employees that you genuinely care about their well-being.

Can you afford to have your company taken to court for an accident that you could have prevented?
The UK has well-established laws, however, the punishments for breaching these laws have become much more severe in recent years.
Did you know that you don't have to have an accident to be prosecuted? If an inspector finds evidence that you are not complying with health and safety legislation, they can come into your business and charge you an hourly rate to put things right. Whilst doing this, if they find a serious breach, they can still take you to court and prosecute.
We can help you manage safety and reduce the likelihood of an accident in your business.

You can save money by managing health and safety in your workplace.
When Stelios Haji-Ioannou started Easy Jet, he used to have a sign in his office that said:
'IF YOU THINK THAT SAFETY IS EXPENSIVE, TRY AN ACCIDENT".
Okay, we don't all work in high-risk industries such as the airlines, but accidents normally result in someone taking time off. Productivity drops as managers investigate and interview staff, equipment or stock gets damaged and then there are possible fines or civil claims.
Your business is important, and we can help you protect yourself from these losses by improving your safety processes and performance.

Are you doing enough to protect your team?
If one of your staff were injured tomorrow, could you face people, knowing you could have done more to protect them?
How would you feel if your company or even you were personally prosecuted for an accident that could have been easily prevented?
It is quite an uncomfortable feeling if you think, hand on heart, that you could do more.
We will work with you to improve and manage safety in your business, reducing the likelihood of a preventable accident.
