Each year, a significant number of workplace accidents result from inadequate or failing systems of work. Implementing safe systems of work is crucial in managing the risks associated with daily activities. Without a well-defined, safe method for carrying out tasks, the risk to both employers and employees increases significantly.

At the Health & Safety Dept, our team of experts takes the time to understand your business, your workforce, and your operations. We then develop a robust Safe System of Work procedure tailored to your needs, ensuring protection from potential hazards in your day-to-day activities. Contact us today to learn how we can help keep your workplace safe.

A special thanks from us, too, to Tara, for always going above and beyond for our clients.

The mismanagement or underestimating of fire can cost lives. There is no excuse not to be prepared for one. Making sure you can operate your business and keep employees and others safe from fire is vital.

By law, every business must manage the risk of fire, and it starts with having a valid fire risk assessment. That’s where our health and safety team comes in. With extensive experience in fire risk management, we’ll carry out your fire risk assessment and ensure you effectively manage the risk of fire in your workspace, keeping its occupants safe.
