Health & Safety

Health and Safety has become a Top Priority for many U.K. companies. Recent successful and costly high profile damages claims have alerted employers to the necessity for more vigilance with regard to safety issues within the workplace, and new legislation recommends that companies with five employees or over have a health and safety competent person within the workforce.
