The law states if you employ 5 or more people, you must have documented evidence to comply with the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974.
Do you have the internal resources?
For small and medium sized businesses this can be a huge administrative burden and cost. Employers do not have enough time or expertise to tackle the problem and bringing in outside consultants can be very expensive, particularly if their recommendations cannot easily be put into practice.
Most reasonable employers see good business sense in complying with Health & Safety law but many feel unable to do so whilst continuing to run their business. The risks are there for all to see – to the health, safety and well-being of their staff, to the reputation of the company & to the personal finances of the Company Directors – and yet many companies continue to play Russian roulette with all three by ignoring their legal obligations.
Is your business insurance void?
Compulsory business insurance such as: Employers liability, Public Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance could be potentially void if you have not carried out your legal obligation. Because of the “No Win No Fee” environment which we live in today, companies can be extremely vulnerable if they do not have all the legally required documentation.
So how can you eliminate the danger and bring your company up to the legal requirement, easily, effectively and without spending a fortune?
