Retained Competent Health and Safety Advisor Service
Retained Competent Health and Safety Advisor Service
Under Regulation 7 of the Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999 all employers are required to appoint one or more competent persons to provide them with access to competent health and safety advice and to assist them in discharging their statutory health & safety duties.
Failing to have access to Competent Health and Safety Advice and support is actually an office under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, as the regulations require ALL organisations to have access to competent health and safety advice. Clients will therefore often ask new contractors who provides you with your Competent Health and Safety Advice, as part of their pre-qualification process.
For larger companies this is usually addressed through the use of their own internal Health and Safety Managers and Safety Departments, however for small and medium sized companies it is not practical or cost effective for them to employ their own internal Safety Advisors.
Therefore the most cost effective way for small and medium sized companies to comply with the requirements of Regulation 7 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, is to retain the services of a competent health and safety consultant such as Your Safety Advisor Ltd.
Retaining Your Safety Advisor Ltd as your competent safety advisors can be done for a fraction of the cost of employing your own internal safety advisor, plus you can also tap into our collective knowledge and experience. We are also able to share best practice knowledge with you that may be gained whilst working with other contractors that Your Safety Advisor Ltd also represents.
Our Health and Safety Retainer Service provides you with access to dedicated, named Chartered Safety Advisor, ensuring that you have a personal service and single point of contact for all of your safety concerns. This is a level of service which large and more expensive call centre based organisations are not able to provide. With our Health and Safety Retainer service you will always know who you are dealing with and won’t be starting your conversation again from scratch each time you call us. Customer Service is important to us and at Your Safety Advisor Ltd we aim to make your experience as straightforward as possible.
The cost of our Annual Health and Safety Advisor Retainer Service typically includes support for the following health and safety issues:
- Ongoing telephone and email support for health and safety issues
