We carry out Fire Risk Assessments to ensure compliance with The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This requires your company to identify those who are at risk and to eliminate or reduce the risk of fire. A responsible person may know more about your business activities and premises than anyone else, but may not have the fire safety knowledge, this is where our Fire Risk Assessments can assist you in fulfilling your responsibilities under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
When accidents occur in the workplace, it is essential that they are dealt with accurately and in a timely manner. Our accident investigation support includes identifying factors that have led to the incident, determining what changes need to be implemented to prevent the issue from reoccurring again. All, accidents have a cost, whether it be legal, moral, or financial. In the event of a RIDDOR reportable accident, you have up to 15 days (type of accident dependant) to report the incident to the HSE. The HSE may choose to follow up and will require suitable and sufficient accident investigation reports.
Your business will carry out activities that involve risk. All tasks that have risks should be risk assessed. It is a legal requirement to have the risk assessment documented if you have 5 or more employees (it is good practice to always document you risk assessment). We can create bespoke risk assessments and provide you with support for method statements and safe systems of work. We can advise on improvements and the creation of the arrangements and procedures to make your workplace a safe space.
Audits can be carried out to review all of your current safety systems and produce a report to show where you are compliant and areas where you could improve. We then offer the support you need to improve, become compliant and avoid costly action by the HSE.
