The law in the UK requires organisations of all sizes to have access to the services of competent advice to help them to understand and implement health and safety laws. This is a particular requirement of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 ('MHSWR'), part of the infamous 'six-pack'.

In a perfect world, all organisations would employ their own 'competent person' - a health and safety specialist. Some perhaps smaller organisations, however, may not need this type of advice on a full-time basis, nor be able or willing to afford a full-time health and safety advisor. They are left to decide whether to delegate key roles to staff who may not understand the complex nature of health and safety laws - for example risk assessment, or COSHH - or simply to break the law.

SafetyShare is the low-cost, high-value solution. It allows you to secure regular, professional health and services for as many or as few days as you need per month - you share a health and safety specialist's time. This is backed-up with on-line help and resources, and access to the secure sections of our risk management web site which has downloadable training materials, advice and guidance focussed on organisations such as yours.

Our team of regionally based, fully insured, health and safety specialists, many of whom hold the internationally recognised RSP (Registered Safety Practitioner) status, are at your disposal. You can have regular access to high-quality advice for a fraction of the cost of employing your own staff.

Our specialist experience means that SafetyShare probably achieves more of value to your organisation in a day than employed staff will achieve in a couple of weeks.

Your SafetyShare Consultant can deliver the following specialist functions:

• Preparing a health and safety policy - a legal requirement for any organisation with more than 5 people, but it must reflect your business and your risks. We work alongside yourself, learns your business and develops a tailored policy.


• Producing risk assessments - the cornerstone of managing health and safety in the UK. CRS specialists can undertake assessments of the significant risks under the main legislation, e.g. COSHH, Manual Handling or Display Screen Equipment.


• Chairing or advising Health and Safety Committees - keeping you and your employees up to date on the main legislative issues and finding practicable solutions for problems identified by employees.


• Undertaking audits and inspections - giving you reassurance that your safety management system is working effectively.


• Producing confidential Management Reports.


• Investigating accidents, and helping to prevent their re-occurrence. There is no greater need in safety management than eliminating or controlling risks, which have previously led to injury or ill health. We can develop practicable control systems and ongoing monitoring as part of your accident investigation process or as a contributor to project teams, who are set this vital task.


• Training - having undertaken assessments and designed controls, it is a legal requirement to communicate this to your employees. We can offer bespoke training to meet your needs, or arrange for employees to attend one our publicly run courses.


• Assisting in the preparation of support documentation for insurance claims. Assisting you to demonstrate to your insurers that you are actively managing safety and preventing loss.
