Most companies in our profession offer Health & Safety services. We offer a guaranteed PRACTICAL, PERSONAL and FRIENDLY Health and Safety service.
Policies Irrespective of the size of business, every company is affected by Health and Safety regulations that affect every working environment regardless of the nature of your business. The penalties of not adhering to such regulations are placed in the direct hands of the management and directors.
By law all organisations with five or more employees are required by law to have:
A documented health and safety policy
Documented risk assessments for all significant hazards
Access to competent health and safety advice
We can provide all these services for you regardless of the size of your organisation, and take away the worry of safety in your business and allow you to take your business forward. How do we do this? We spend time with you, the client, listening to how your business is run, we would then conduct a full audit of your premises and your current ‘best practice and procedures’. Upon completion we will give you honest view of what needs to be carried out to get your business in line with the current legislation, but also, more importantly get your business, your employees, your premises and you in safe hands. Contact us today to help your business make its first steps to safety.
Fire Risk Assessment
Every year people die or are seriously injured as a result of fires in the workplace. Besides the loss of life , fires cost business millions in relation to loss of stock , loss of business, loss of premises, compensation claims and insurance claims. How can the above be mimimised?
A large percentage of fires can be avoided by carrying out annual fire risk assessments.
A fire risk assessment includes a full analysis of your business premises from top to bottom, identifying all potential harzards, implementing full procedures to remove hazards, inspecting current company policies, and ensuring all staff are aware of the fire alarm procedures from Director level downwards.

Control of Substances Hazardous to Health is the law that requires employers to take responsibility in protecting people from ill health caused by exposure to hazardous substances.
A COSHH assessment concentrates on the hazards and risks from substances in your workplace and we can guarantee that you will have more than you think!
Manual Handling
At some time or other we are all guilty of lifting and carry heavy and obstructive items incorrectly. But how many of us do actually know the correct procedure to avoid work related injuries such as musculoskeletal disorders (MSD’s).
How we can help?
OJ Safety can help you as a business reduce the risk of any injuries incurred in the workplace therefore reducing the risk of unnecessary claims against the business. We can conduct manual handling assessments within your company and also provide training for your employees.
Display Screen Equipment (DSE)
Display screen equipment is any work equipment having a screen that displays information, although the typical examples are those of a computer monitor or VDU screens.
Investigations have found that employees who are high users of such equipment report aches, pains and eye problems. Although the aforementioned are not serious injuries the prevention is better than the cure. More importantly - a comfortable workforce is a more productive workforce!
How we can help?
OJ Safety will audit and inspect your work area and from that produce a ‘best practice’ manual bespoke to your company for all your employees to follow when setting up or adjusting their work stations. Contact us today to show your workforce you care
Risk Assessment What is a risk assessment?
A risk assessment is a careful examination of what could cause harm to you, your employees, your visitors and your business. Accidents and ill health can ruin lives and affect your business too if output is lost, machinery is damaged, and insurance claims are possibly made against you or your business.
Is this Legal?
Yes. You as an employer have a legal obligation to protect your workforce in conjunction with regulation 3, of the management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. It states that all employers are required to assess the risks to their employees whilst they are at work.
How can we help?
When you appoint OJ Safety to carry out a risk assessment at your premises, the assessment is bespoke to your business. Every business is different and regardless if you are in manufacturing, engineering, production, construction, or office based every business in operation is posed with risks. Contact us today
