Before setting up his own consultancy, Grahame had worked in health and safety in the construction, civil engineering and quarrying industries since 2004. During this time, he has experienced many of those situations where it’s easy to take the risky option when a little thought or planning would make the whole operation much safer.
With his experience, he can help you devise health and safety procedures, specific to your situation, that will help you and your staff to work safely. He can also advise you on what you need to be doing to comply with the law and act as your competent person.
There are good reasons to pay attention to health and safety in your business, after all no-one wants an accident to happen.
The obvious one is, of course, the reduction in accidents and illness. Safer working practices lead to a happier, more productive workforce with fewer days lost through absence and sickness resulting in reduced costs and a programme kept on track.
A safer workplace means that you can avoid the heavy costs associated with an accident – a fee from the HSE for their time, legal fees, a fine or even a prison sentence following a court appearance, increased insurance premiums, and all that lost time.
Health and safety shouldn’t be onerous or get in the way of efficient day to day working. What it should do is remove dangerous practices, minimise the risk and make sure everyone goes home safe at night.
