Health & Safety Audits / Reviews
All companies, however large or small, must meet health and safety legislation. In many cases the effort need only be commensurate with the size of the business and the risk involved. However many businesses cannot afford to employ a person who will be solely dedicated to ensuring that they comply with their health and safety requirements and it is permissible to employ an external person to assist you. Alan Ross Consulting can provide you with an informal review or a full blown audit of your systems to identify where any potential shortcomings may be and can provide supporting consultancy to help rectify any such shortcomings.
