As health and safety legislation becomes more complex, we at National Britannia have developed more proactive and innovative risk management solutions for our clients. Employers today want to improve health & safety performance as a means enhancing their service offering and becoming more competitive, not just complying with the law.

Reducing costs

Better health and safety risk management has been shown to:

• Reduce operating costs, including insurance premiums,
• Lead to more efficient work practices,
• Improve staff morale and performance,
• Avoid accidents and ill health.

We offer a wealth of experience and expertise, plus a strong market-led approach, allowing us to deliver a range of cost-effective consultancy services.

We work in long-term partnerships with clients, providing innovative, yet tried and tested risk management solutions, in line with the business objectives of individual clients.

Experienced staff for the right advice

Virtually all of our consultants have an enforcement background and therefore understand the Local Authority and HSE requirements.

They identify and assess risks accurately, setting up workable procedures to control those risks and comply with all of the relevant legislation covering the site or group of sites concerned.

Interactive Management System

At the heart of National Britannia's support service is a highly innovative yet easy-to-use online system - HAScheck Interactive. This enables managers to ensure all precautions are taken and all obligations complied with on a regular basis.

This pioneering Internet-based system - a module of the e-risk MANAGER system - is designed to prompt managers at pre-arranged intervals to carry out all the checks needed. Failure to comply triggers an alert, which can be relayed to a more senior level within the organization, if required.

In addition we deliver the Health and Safety Executive's information services, HSE Infoline.

We also help clients to meet their duty to manage risks that could be created by contractors working on their sites, through our accreditation system - SAFEcontractor -designed to identify contractors who follow safe practices.

Advice

Underpinning all of this, we provide a 24-hour client helpline - Responseline for advice and information on legislation, best practice and recommended action in a particular situation.
