Our advisors regularly visit engineering workshops and factories to conduct health and safety compliance inspections and safety tours on behalf of the occupier. Whether as part of a proactive compliance programme or in response to a workplace incident, understanding our inspection focus can help employers maintain a safe and healthy working environment.
Effective communication for health and safety is essential for preventing accidents, ensuring compliance with regulations, and fostering a culture of awareness and responsibility. Whether in workplaces, public spaces, or emergency response situations, clear and timely communication can save lives and minimise risks.
If your organisation has at least one employee, or if you are self-employed and employ others, you will have duties under health and safety law. This means you must protect your employees but also others, including volunteers, from any risks arising from your work activities.
Introduced as part of post-Grenfell reforms, the Golden Thread aims to improve accountability, transparency, and decision-making in the built environment. By digitally recording vital safety information from design and construction to occupation and maintenance, the Golden Thread helps duty holders manage risks effectively and comply with regulations. In this blog, we explore its significance, how it works, and what it means for the future of building safety.
