Keeping on top of health and safety and running a business at the same time can be very stressful. Health and safety law keeps changing. Recent years have seen the introduction of the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order and The Control of Asbestos Regulations, to name but a few..

In all cases, employers have a duty to ensure the health and safety of their workforce and anyone else who may be affected by what they do. The law places duties on employers to appoint competent people to assist with their health and safety and fire safety arrangements and to ensure their employees are aware of health and safety risks. Failure to do so can result in accidents, stoppages and even prosecution.

Macbrac can undertake fire risk assessments, provide accredited health and safety training and  safety advisory services  (competent person).
