Eastwood & Partners - Health & Safety

Health & Safety

Spending time to protect the health of your business must be a good use of your time and can result in premium reductions from Insurers. The financial health of a business is essential to the well being of owners, employees, customers and suppliers alike.

Eastwood & Partners have established a Safety Division to help companies positively address legislative responsibilities in a strategic and cost effective way.

Our services are headed by a Chartered Member of The Institute of Occupational Safety and Health who personally has a wide range of experience in implementing good health and safety systems in a wide range of industries.

We are able to tailor our services to meet the needs of each company be it a one off audit or robust health and safety system.

These are some of the services that we can provide:
Audit Service - either as a one off or as part of an ongoing service, our consultants will prepare a detailed audit giving our client information on their current compliance status and help in identifying areas where improvement is needed.

The audit will be accompanied by appropriate recommendations to improve standards of compliance.

Documentation - we can help prepare detailed health and safety documentation including the policy statement and the arrangements for health and safety in every aspect of your business.

Risk Assessments - it is a mandatory requirement that risk assessments are carried out to assess the risks associated with the tasks, processes and environment within the work place.

We can if required undertake these assessments in conjunction with your own personnel. We are also able to undertake monitoring as may be required, such as dust sampling and noise assessments. We recognise however that the workplace is constantly changing and prefer to train your own staff to carry out the assessment.

Spot Checks - we can provide regular monitoring visits to report on progress or new areas requiring attention.

Accident Investigations - our aim is to reduce the likelihood of accidents occurring but in the event of an accident we can assist with a detailed investigation to establish the cause and liaison with the enforcing authority (this service can also be used in the event of disputes or threats of action by the HSE or Environmental Health Officers).

Training - we can undertake bespoke training programs to meet your companies individual requirements.
