TripleAconsult will review your business operations,

The Health and Safety at
Work Act 1974 requires an employer to produce a general health and safety
policy statement. This comprises three elements:
- The Statement of Intent - which details your commitment to safety
throughout your business.
- The Organisation and structure of the business - which will include details
of corporate and individual responsibilities.
- The Arrangements for operational safety management - such as policies for
risk assessment, auditing, COSHH, DSE, Lone Workers and training etc.
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 (MHSWR)
state that where five or more people are employed within a business it is the
employer's duty to ensure suitable and sufficient assessments of the hazards
and risks are undertaken and recorded. Once the hazards have been identified
the employer should endeavour to eliminate or at least reduce them to the
lowest reasonably practicable level.
TripleAconsult works with your
best interests in mind, to make your organisation a safer place for all those
who enter its premises.
