Many companies don’t want/need a full time Health
& Safety Manager, but still need professional health & safety advice. Manor
House Health & Safety Consultants can be your ‘in house’ manager, without the
added expenses of company cars, office administration, pensions, holidays etc.
Manor House Health & Safety are here to take the strain off you - the employer.
We aim to take a sensible and realistic approach to Health & Safety. All too
often you are told you can’t do this, you can’t do that, you can’t do the other
etc. Our consultants have years of practical experience in industry and the care
sector, so can help and advise you how to work within the Regulations. Whatever
your work sector, we have trained experienced staff to manage, advise and train.
We can write your Health & Safety Policies, specific to the size and needs of
your company, as required by the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.
We can carry out Risk Assessments, and be the ‘competent person’ as required by
the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. We can also
organise and provide training where needed for your employees.
What is Health & Safety supposed to do?
Many employers see Health and Safety as nothing more than an obstacle to work,
just something to cost them money, to slow things down and to get in the way.
This is not true.
Health and Safety is not about stopping you from working. It is about making
sure your employees are working safely - which is not necessarily the way they
have always done it.
This may include using the proper tools in the right way, not removing or
adapting guards, and wearing appropriate PPE for their eyes, hands etc.
In other words, fewer accidents means less downtime, which in turn leads to more
productivity and increased profitability.
Far too many employers, especially small businesses cannot see the value in
spending their hard earned profits on a Health and Safety consultant. However
one small accident can result in a claim costing many times our modest fees.
Consider -
• Cover for staff absence
• Extra recruitment and re-training costs
• Insurance, compensation and legal fees
• Potential damage to your reputation
• A loss in productivity and/or work efficiency
All of the above are avoidable - Contact us now to find out how.
