Did you know that 80% of Directors, Owners and Managers appointed as a Responsible or Competent person for a business lack confidence in how well they are able to maintain their Health & Safety compliance?
Failing to meet your Health & Safety obligations is a criminal offence which can lead to prosecutions and fines which can’t be insured against?
We understand how difficult it can be to continuously maintain health and safety systems, not least trying to keep them up-to-date with current legislation whilst maintaining your commitment and duty of care to your employees and to your service users.
Did you know that only 55% of registered managers are confident that their employees understand their health and safety policy and how the vicarious liability is shared?
If you are the person who has been named as the Responsible or Competent Person for your business setting, then it is your lawful responsibility to ensure that you share the policy, and any changes to it, with your staff. You also need to make sure that what you say you do within your policy is being carried out.
Did you know that the law allows criminal proceedings to be brought against not just Director’s, but also Managers, Secretary or other similar Officers within a business.
