Health, Safety and Environment Advice and Services
The regulation of Health & Safety in the workplace has undergone a revolution since the Health & Safety at Work Act came into being in 1974.
New regulations arrive with ever increasing frequency, making it difficult for employers to keep up-to-date, and the recent imprisonment of a company director for safety failures has made everyone sit up and take notice.
In addition, society at large now expects to be protected from risk in every situation and this is reflected in the growth of what have become known as "ambulance chasers", i.e. firms advertising "no-win, no-fee" arrangements for compensation claims.
Employers want to protect their staff from injury and ill health and want to protect themselves from prosecution, but how do you do that when it takes you all your time to run the business?
Our partners Fifth Avenue can make it easy for you - Lynda Peggs says "We can write the documents, develop the management tools, undertake risk assessments, specify risk controls, develop safety procedures, brief the management and train the staff."
So, whether it's health & safety or fire safety, call us to help you work through the problems and develop the professional solutions that will give you peace of mind - with the minimum of fuss and disruption to your business.
"Having Fifth Avenue as a resource has helped us to comply fully with Health & Safety legislation and also manage our commercial insurance premiums. But more importantly they have provided practical advice on maintaining a safe environment in which all our staff can work, whilst at the same time allowing our operations to remain as efficient as possible. Their responsiveness and ability to match safety with the business needs, make them a great partner to have." Andy Mead, Managing Director, The Finishing Line Ltd
