Changes in legislation has led to a general increase in the awareness of Companies, Directors, and Management of their various responsibilities including their personal  responsibilities under legislation for loss control, accident prevention and Health and Safety at work. It is not only the corporate entity which may face litigation, fines and penalties – there is a direct responsibility and exposure to risk for the directors and managers of the organisation also.

Current legislation is quite clear – you have an obligation to comply fully – it is not optional. 
 
We can assist you with implementing of specific regulations under the Safety, Health & Welfare at Work Act 2005, thereby protecting your staff, others who may be affected, the profits of your organisation and the security or long term viability of the business.

The entire process of safety management needs to play a central role in any business and senior management and directors of businesses must take part in the Management of Safety

The object of Risk Management is to identify those risks, which are present in the Client’s work place with a view to:

• Eliminating those risks.
• Reducing exposure to the risks.
• Helping to deal with the consequences of exposure to those risks.

WHY IS HEALTH & SAFETY AN ISSUE

Health & Safety may not seem like a priority now - don’t wait for an accident to happen to make it one!! In most cases, risks and hazards are relatively low for firms in the commercial, service or light industrial sectors, however because risks are low, many small firms end up footing the bill when something simple does go wrong. Risk Assessment is nothing more than a careful, qualified examination of what could cause harm in the workplace. Accidents and ill-health can affect your business through injuries to staff or public, lost output, damage to property and increased insurance costs, not to mention fines or litigation resulting from prosecutions. We would hope to effectively reduce these risks and in the long run reduce costs to the business and help the growth and development of the organisation going forward.
