Reviews
Karl from H&S Dept carried out our recent inspection and was excellent. He was very informative and thorough throughout the process. Thanks to the recommendations and support he provided following last year’s inspection, we passed with flying colours this time around. I would highly recommend Karl and the H&S Dept for all your health and safety needs.
We (Rampton Baseley) recently had a H&S audit carried out by the wonderful Stephanie. Although the audit is lengthy, Stephanie breezed through it and made the experience as enjoyable as possible whilst remaining thorough. We've subsequently signed up to the Fundamentals package so we can continue working together to better our compliance. I would definitely recommend Stephanie and The Health & Safety Dept.
The Health & Safety Department transformed what is often a complex and challenging area into a clear, straight forward process. They were highly supportive throughout and implemented a user friendly Health and Safety policy tailored to our company.
“Two members of staff were very happy with the excellent First Aid training they completed last week. They found it very informative especially with the latest information about defibrillators. Thank you to The Health & Safety Dept.“Alba, Beverage Company
“When questions arise around health and safety, it’s comforting to know I have an expert on hand to help, I don’t have to go and research for the answer or take a guess, I simply pick up the phone and get the answers from the professionals, as The Health & Safety Dept are always available and always respond rapidly with tailored advice and support.”Alan Sanderson, Safe Building Scheme
“We particularly value the friendliness and responsiveness of the service and are confident that we have protected our organisation from potential risks and liabilities in these important yet complex areas.”
