Who Can Put A Price On Safety?

Are you a business owner struggling to keep up to date with Health & Safety legislation?
Perhaps you are a construction company needing help with staff training and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)?

Taking the pain out of Health & Safety Compliance
Health & Safety legislation is vast but so important for business.  Protecting yourself, your staff and your customers from the risks that can be associated with the services you provide is fundamental but also ensures you stand out as a quality business.

We are an established Health & Safety consultancy based in Eastbourne.  The business was started in 2002, and we have successfully helped businesses of all sizes across Eastbourne, Sussex and beyond.

Your Responsibility!

There's simply no excuse for poorly executed or lack of professional training. Everyone who works for you must be aware of how to carry out their work safely. Under the law,  it is your responsibility as an employer to ensure clear instructions, adequate training, and up-to-date  information is given to your employees.

This means it is vital you have informed all of your workers about:
  • risks or hazards ;
  • which measures are in place to deal with hazards and risks;
  • how they are to follow any emergency procedures.
The information and training you provide needs to be be in a form that is easy to understand. Everyone working for you must know what they are expected to do.
