Safety at work is a key issue facing many employers and it is an area in which Lancall are able to offer a comprehensive health & safety consultancy service. We are able to provide a full health and safety audit and health & safety risk assessment service to ensure compliance with current health and safety policy regulations. In addition, we also offer health & safety training services.
Health & Safety Consultancy and Risk Assessment
The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 (HSWA) section 2(3) requires that anyone employing five or more persons must :
- Prepare a written statement of health and safety policy
- Set out organisation and arrangement for implementing policy
- Revise and update as necessary
- Bring the policy and arrangements to the notice of all employees
Our health & safety consultancy brings a common sense approach to developing a policy relevant to your business. We offer health and safety audits, a comprehensive health & safety risk assessment amongst a comprehensive range of health & safety products that will help you stay ahead of the ever changing health & safety regulations and guidelines.
Health & Safety Training
Health and safety law says:
- Employees must be trained and clearly instructed in their duties.
- Employers and host companies must ensure contractors are properly trained and competent to work safely.
Everyone who works for you, including self-employed people, needs to know how to work safely and without risks to health. As such, you need to train them so they know what hazards and risks they may face and how to deal with them. Health & safety training should take place during working hours and must not be paid for by employees. Some employees may have particular training needs, for example:
- New recruits.
- People changing jobs or taking on extra responsibilities.
- Young employees who are particularly vulnerable to accidents.
You also need to ensure that new, inexperienced or young employees are adequately supervised.
It is very important that you keep records of all health and safety training to show that it is being carried out. It is also sensible to get anyone who has attended training to sign to say that they have been trained.
Lancall Limited will visit your premises and carry out a detailed audit covering all aspects of Health & Safety. We will then supply you with a detailed report listing all you problem areas, organising the correct courses to solve all you problem areas.
