Do you really want to buy that very cheap replacement charger...?
ARE THESE YOUR WORKERS?
FIRE SAFETY?
ARE YOU RISK AWARE?

Would you have these scaffolders working for you?

What would your insurance company make of the passing public being struck by a scaffold pole when the inappropriately used chair collapses?

Would anyone really work 3mtrs up on a ledge of about 30cms width, with the magical protection of just 2 traffic cones?

Does your Fire Exit route look like this?

Are you thinking about the risks to your staff, customers and yourself from risks that you have ignored?

As a business owner, you require sensible, proportionate and cost effective guidance and advice in respect of health and safety. Good health and safety saves you money. Doing it badly or not at all eventually results in in significant loss to your company.

 

You cannot insure against bad press, court fines, a prison sentence or knowing that you are responsible for someone being injured or killed.

 

As a general rule, nobody deliberately goes out to be dangerous in the workplace; yet many simple, preventable accidents  occur each day. Slips and trips alone cost UK employers £500M each year.

 

Frequently, small business owners are unaware of changes in safety related legislation; their accountant will tell them about tax changes, but how do they keep up to date with safety laws?

 

For example, six years after it came into force, many small business owners are completely unaware of their responsibilities under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Such lack of knowledge can be both dangerous and expensive, with an increasing number of cases going to court, resulting in heavy fines and/or imprisonment.
