Health and Safety Support

Health and Safety and YOUR business

H&S management support for small businesses in Gloucestershire

We hear so many grumbles about ‘Health and Safety gone mad’, but the reality is we all know how important this issue is. Most people running their own business would say that they take their responsibilities seriously, and think they are doing OK. But are YOU? Like many things in business, you may only realise you should have done more when it is too late.

There are many good reasons for getting really good health and safety procedures in place:
• You care about your employees, and everyone you do business with
• You need to comply with the law
• Your insurance company will insist on compliance, but may give you a discount if you do more
• Your customers may require it as part of a contract
• It can increase productivity and decrease absenteeism
• It can protect you against claims

To have total confidence in the way you deal with health and safety in your business, the most cost effective solution is to call in an expert.

Gloucestershire Enterprise Limited (GEL) is delighted to be able to offer a comprehensive Health and Safety advice service as part of their portfolio of business support to Gloucestershire’s smaller businesses. As a not for profit organisation, we are able to provide top quality, professional and practical support at a price you can afford.

To start, you can book a ‘Health Check’ with a specialist for only £200 plus VAT, which would give you an initial compliance audit, a report, a management action plan, and advice on how to put things in place. If you decide to take things further, and sign up for a retainer with your consultant, this would be refunded.

Alternatively, you may want one of our other standard services (see over for details)

In any case, call us and we’ll arrange for our Health and Safety specialist to call you to discuss your needs.
