Help Systems are qualified and experienced in health & safety and fire safety. We can conduct an independent audit of your existing H&S procedures and provide you with a H&S management system, including guidelines, templates and other documents to ensure that you comply with the health & safety law and codes of practice; thus reducing your risk of an accident or injury in the workplace and a costly claim or prosecution. We can also work with you to draft Safe Systems of Work and Permits to Work, that meet the needs of your business and the law. In addition, we can provide training to your employees, managers and H&S representatives.

At Help Systems we are are also qualified and have experience in conducting accident investigations and conducting noise risk assessments.

As an employer you have a legal duty to ensure, as far as reasonably practical, the health safety and welfare of your employees in the workplace, and the health and safety of those not in your employment, who come into the workplace or are affected by the work you do.

This requires you to make suitable and sufficient risk assessments and to have clear policies and procedures in place. If you have 5 or more employees then you are required under law to have a documented health & safety management system. There are no exceptions; it applies to every employer; even if your business is a ‘low risk’ work environment; failure to comply is a criminal offence.
