Do you give Health & Safety the priority you should? Do you dismiss it as not applying to you? Do you think that statistically it is never likely to affect your business?
Health & Safety Executive Statistics
- 95 % of cases prosecuted lead to a conviction;
- As a Director you are criminally liable - prison is a real possibility;
- At best, a poor claims history will adversely affect your premiums; and
- The HSE can legally enter any business premise, without notice, and close it down.
The failure to meet Health & Safety standards can be extremely costly in many ways: lost productivity, absenteeism, injury to workers, equipment failure and property damage can all add up to a crippling burden for any company.
Themis has been appointed by Caunce O'Hara to offer a 'hands-on' service for all your Health & Safety requirements, including: bespoke policies, risk assessments, risk improvements, training, post-accident investigations and an employment law helpline.
'Prevention is better than cure'
Health & Safety compliance presents company directors with one of the most difficult challenges of the 21st century. Since the government introduced the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 company directors have struggled to interpret and implement the constantly changing legislation, leaving themselves open to the possibility of criminal prosecution.
The failure to meet these strictly imposed standards can be extremely costly in many ways: lost productivity, absenteeism, injury to workers, equipment failure and property damage can all add up to a crippling burden for any company.
The special service Themis provides will save your company time, money and effort. Our advisors will work in partnership with you to constantly assess, implement, re-assess and evaluate the procedures that your business undertakes.
We do this by providing:
- an audit of your current Health & Safety policy. A detailed report is prepared highlighting areas of concern and practical solutions that will reduce both risk and cost;
- a bespoke Health & Safety policy tailored to meet the requirements of your company and its workforce;
- risk assessments covering all aspects of your business practice;
- a risk improvement service to enable compliance with insurers' regulations;
- a post-accident investigation service where advisors thoroughly investigate the claim, compile a report and liaise with your insurer to mitigate the potential liability; and
- training courses (either in-house or externally) to ensure that your employees are being continually updated in safe working practices.
- an internet service keeping you updated of all the latest changes in legislation.
