Health and Safety Advisors, Health and Safety Consultants, Guildford, London, Glasgow, Surrey

BSA works to help you create and implement your health & safety management process and plans.

We are health and safety consultants which means that we can also review and advise upon the health and safety management processes of both small and large organisations - giving vital protection to senior managers and board directors in the face of possibility of corporate manslaughter charges.

Health and Safety Audit

We assess your health and safety management processes to see if it is sufficient for your needs and provide a written report detailing areas that are covered to the reasonable extent of current legislation/opportunities and areas that require further work.

Health and Safety Policies and Risk Assessments

Health & safety legislation applies to everyone but companies of 5 or more employees are required to have their health & safety policy in writing. We careful assess your working environment and prepare risk assessments and health and safety policies tailored to your needs and designed to actually make a difference. We will also help prepare staff handbooks and brief your staff on what it all means!

Construction Industry

For construction companies, we also attend pre contract meetings, carry out risk assessments, draw up method statements and Stage 2 (Construction Phase) Health and Safety plans. We deliver Site Inductions and carry out Site Inspections with Reports to ensure the plans are being followed.

Stage 2 (Construction Phase) Health and Safety Plans

These plans are produced for each separate project and should specifically help to manage the risks of any construction project. The result is lower commercial risk due to downtime, prohibition notices or worse still, the high cost of any accidents. [See Health & Safety Executive Website].

On site inductions

On site Health and Safety inductions are a vital step in the communication of management policy and rules regarding health and safety. All manufacturing, construction or refurbishment sites should have a briefing process for workers or visitors at the beginning of their work on site. Inductions are delivered in clear language designed to keep sites as safe as possible throughout the construction phase.
