What we can do for you and how we can help

Risk Assessment

Every company is under a statutory duty to arrange for a "competent person" to assess all risks in the workplace. We can arrange for a qualified safety practitioner to carry out a Risk Assessment study on your behalf.

Safety Auditing

Safety Auditing is a valuable management technique that is highly recommended by the Health and Safety Executive. An audit will show exactly how you measure up to legal requirements, and whether your performance is up to standard.

Health and Safety Training

The obligation to train staff starts from the day you employ them. We can provide individually Bespoke Health and Safety Training Courses to address your specific needs, either in-house or at a suitable local venue.

Occupational Health

Your employees are your biggest asset, and it is to everyone’s benefit that their good health is maintained. We offer a range of Occupational Health services, including health screening, management of work-related ill-health, stress auditing and ill-health absence assessments.

Appointed Safety Advisor Service

Safety legislation requires every employer to designate a ‘competent person’ to assist with health and safety at work. Many organisations can’t justify employing their own professional staff to guide them through the maze of legislation. PHSC run the Appointed Safety Advisor Service to provide ongoing support for those who do not employ a health and safety professional, or to provide a back-up for those with existing in-house expertise.

Expert Witness

Of course, the objective is to make sure no-one is made ill or injured at work. However, accidents do happen and they often lead to civil claims. Our Expert Witness Service can assist you or your insurers to decide whether there is any liability. We can also appear in court to represent you, or to act as an independent expert if jointly appointed by both parties.

Environmental Services

Our Environmental services will help you keep on top of this important and developing area of management responsibility. As well as complying with the law, there are good business reasons to make sure you adopt environmentally-friendly practices.

Safety Management Systems

It is no co-incidence that the most successful organisations tend to have the best health and safety record. We can help you to introduce, develop, and review your Safety Management Systems so that they are both effective and compliant with best practice.

Policy Writing

As well as being a legal requirement for organisations with five or more employees, a safety policy is a useful document that formalises the organisation and arrangements for health and safety. It shows not only who is responsible for what, but also gives rules and procedures for all the relevant topics. Evidence of a valid policy may also be required of you by your own clients.
