Consultants

We have developed a ‘Safety and Risk Management’ package specifically designed for small to medium sized businesses, who may find it uneconomical to employ a full time Safety Officer.

The package is flexible and can be tailored to suit the specific needs of all businesses. It contains documentation that can demonstrate compliance with legal duties as well as assisting you with your insurance needs or in satisfying tender conditions.

Our typical package contains:

A Health and Safety Policy
If a business has more than four employees a written health and safety policy is required by law. If less than four, it is still a useful document that can demonstrate a business is committed to safety.

Forms and Guidance Notes
These include Risk Assessments, Method Statements and other documents that are required by law or to meet tender conditions.

In addition we provide:

Retained Consultancy
This allows a business to name G & A Wilson as their Health and Safety consultants on forms and when applying for new contracts.

Reviews (two half days)
These can be used at in a variety of ways. This can include the provision of short training courses that assist in ensuring employees have the knowledge to carry out their work in a safe manner.

We can also assist a business in completing forms sent by clients or other bodies, attend meetings with clients or HSE inspectors, carry out safety inspections or investigate accidents and are available 24 hours a day by phone or e-mail.
