Health and Safety
According to the Health and Safety Executive, workplace accidents and work related ill health cost employers £2.5 billion per annum. Also, each year there are 30 million working days lost and civil compensation claims against employers are costing in excess of £432 million.
Putting in place and maintaining robust health and safety is a legal requirement for all businesses. For small concerns compliance can be very simple and requires little paperwork. Unfortunately, the mound of legislation and jargon can be off-putting. Moonlight Environmental Ltd can show you exactly what applies to your business and what you need to do to comply by:
- assessing your existing provision
- devising safe systems of work and tailored documentation for your company (policy, risk assessments, audits etc)
- helping you to carry out risk assessments (e.g. workplace, manual handling, display screen equipment) or doing them on your behalf
- undertaking staff health surveillance including exposure assessments for acoustic, biological and chemical hazards
- showing you solutions to identified problems
- contractor compliance
- training and motivating management and staff in any new, safe systems of work
- regularly auditing your health and safety policy and systems to ensure any changes are incorporated and that the programme remains up to date
Our consultants have extensive experience in assisting a wide variety of companies from micro businesses to much larger ones. We want you to experience the benefits of good systems of health and safety, for instance:
- a cost saving through fewer staff sick days
- a cleaner, more efficient workplace
- a happier working environment as staff work consistently
- individuals actively wanting to become involved and take responsibility
