“It’s just more red tape and paperwork.” An all too familiar response when explaining what we do for a living. Health and Safety on the whole does not carry the best of reputations for enabling business to thrive in the UK at the moment. Coupled with plenty of media reports of health and safety gone mad, with stories of pancake races and conkers matches banned etc, it is no wonder that health and safety is looked upon in a poor light.
But wait a moment. Think how things have progressed from the early days of the industrial revolution, when serious injury and even death was an accepted part of the average person’s working life. In today’s world this is clearly no longer the case, and rightly so. In today’s world the repercussions from a serious accident can be severely damaging to a business. A good reputation that you have worked long and hard to achieve can be lost very quickly because of one unfortunate incident that could easily have been predicted and crucially just as easily prevented.
“But,” you say, “We comply with the law. We have a health and safety policy; we downloaded one from the ‘net’, and we have done a risk assessment. We have also got the necessary insurance.” All very admirable that you are doing your best to be compliant, but have you considered the wider picture?
An effective health and safety policy and management system written specifically for your corporation can save your business time and money, while improving your reputation with your clients and amongst your competitors.
Even with insurance cover, the losses to a business after an accident can be significant. Many costs will not even be covered by insurance; eg additional overtime payments to cover for an absent injured employee, penalty charges for late delivery etc.
This starts to make an effective health and safety management system a sound business proposition as well as a basic legal requirement.
So let Anglia Safety Advisors take on your health and safety management, allowing you to be assured that your business will be not only be compliant with current legislation, but will also be kept informed of any amendments or new legislation coming in to force. We will also ensure that your staff are briefed and made aware of their responsibilities; freeing up your time to focus on your core activities and achieve greater success in your own field.
Anglia Safety Advisors was started in 2011 by its Managing Director, Jeremy Warren. He is a National Examination Board of Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH) qualified Safety Technician and a member of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) — the world’s largest and most recognised body for Health and Safety practitioners.
Jeremy’s approach to health and safety consultancy is to give straight talking and jargon free advice, while offering sensible solutions to problems. In other words, looking to Health and Safety as an enabler with a “can do” approach, as opposed to a negative blocking mechanism that prevents business activity and growth.
With years of experience in delivering health and safety at a practical level, and not just quoting regulation and theory from books, Anglia Safety Advisors Ltd is waiting to share its wealth of professional knowledge and experience gained through working in a number of high risk industries.
With our help you can be confident of having the highest level of service, tailored to suit your needs. We will endeavour always to provide information in a clear and uncomplicated manner that makes the requirements of Health and Safety Legislation as straightforward as possible.
Jeremy realised that there was a need for a health and safety consultancy that made jargon free advice with practical solutions as core to the business. His vision for Anglia Safety Advisors is a service focused on customer satisfaction. A consultancy service that is flexible in its approach to customer requirements. No rigid pricing structure. Just fair fees for clients who are prepared to pay for being guided simply and practically through the complexities of health and safety legislation.
Our aim is to make clear presentations tailored to all levels of an organisation in a style appropriate to each tier of the business.
