Before you consider what health and safety advice your business needs, you should think about how often you require the service.
Depending on the nature of your business you might only require assistance on an intermittent basis. For other businesses compliance is vital for the day to day running’s of the industry that they work in. Therefore ongoing support which is provided on a monthly or weekly basis may be a necessity.
Here is what you should consider before you search for health and safety advice:
Risk factor
Risk assessments are used to help determine whether a business is high or low risk. A risk assessment outlines potential risks to your employees and tells you the control measures to put in place to reduce risks down to an acceptable level.
Risks vary in different work environments, the risks you will find in an office are likely to be lower than the risks that you find working on a construction site. Consider the risk factor within your business and how this affects the type and frequency of health and safety advice that you require.
Support
This brings us on to the type of support your business needs. Our safety advice helps to ensure that your business is always up to date and compliant. Health and safety legislation is always changing, so if your business requires total compliance to operate then having weekly, or monthly site visits and inspections means that you will always be adhering to the law. Retained health and safety advice means that you will have access to ongoing support that is tailored to your business requirements at a fixed price per month.
Ad hoc generally suits businesses who require flexible health and safety services. These are typically office-based environments, hairdressers, libraries, and so on.
