Health & Safety
Secantor can help you ensure that your company suitably protects employees and complies with all legal requirements. The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act forces companies to be aware of their responsibilities and have a competent person to oversee health and safety issues.
Secantor's people understand industry and we give pragmatic advice that allows you the highest levels of freedom to conduct your business, whilst meeting all health and safety requirements . Secantor’s objective is to make the health and safety aspects of the business simple and create a professional profile to the authorities.
If a company employs five or more people, they must have a written health and safety policy and conduct a risk assessment on the business, and take measures to reduce risks to a minimum. If they already have a policy then Secantor will review it, otherwise it will be written to suit the business.
