Competent Health and Safety Advisor Service Package
At Christian James Associates Ltd in Sunderland we specialise in providing health and safety support to small and medium-size businesses. Our Competent Health and Safety Advisor Service package keeps our clients compliant with health and safety law and ensures that suitable arrangements are in place to protect their employees and any third parties within their responsibilities.
The Management of Health at Work Regulations 1999 state:
'Every employer shall appoint one or more competent persons to assist them in undertaking the measures he needs to take to comply with the requirements and prohibitions imposed upon him by or under the relevant statutory provisions.'
This service includes the following depending on the client's requirements and aspirations including:
Initial discussion with a health and safety consultant and an annual site visit to the company premises. This includes an in-depth review of existing health and safety documentation, policy, organisational responsibilities, specific arrangements and procedures, risk assessments, safe systems of work, etc.
A briefing to management on the annual review and a comprehensive written report. This would identify all key issues and a schedule prioritising their rectification in terms of risk and timescales, therefore demonstrating their continuous improvement.
