About
Health & Safety can be daunting for people without the necessary experience. A company or individuals are after all liable to legal proceedings from employees, visitors or the authorities should they get it wrong. It shouldn’t be scary though – or expensive.
Good Health & Safety shouldn’t just help comply with the vast amount of forever changing regulations. It should create a positive culture and safeguard staff – cutting down on sick leave, reducing insurance costs and increasing productivity – a real “win-win” all-round!
Company size shouldn’t be a barrier to good Health & Safety. We have worked everywhere from corner shops to multinational corporations to nuclear sites. The control measures in place may be very different in each, but the aim is always the same and the wellbeing of people are just as important no matter where they work.
Start-Ups
We love working alongside start-up businesses. It’s an exciting time for those starting that new life (we know – we’ve been there!). Legislation compliance is one of the biggest items on any “to-do list”, and at Monitor we feel it’s important to have someone to help get you to opening day completely compliant and ready to go.
Legislation Compliance
What We Do
Every organisation or self-employed person has a legal duty to do two things - conduct a Risk Assessment of foreseeable hazards and create a Health & Safety Policy.
Going The Extra Mile
Investing in these extra steps can help create a culture at your workplace that can ensure that employees buy in to working safely, leading to happier staff, less days off, better staff retention, and lower insurance costs.

Some other areas that Monitor may be able to help with include:
Accident Investigation
Method Statement Creation / Review

Risk Assessments
The cornerstone of Health & Safety in every workplace. They should be suitable & sufficient for the risks on site. At Monitor we work with you to identify hazards, assess the risk they pose, and puts plans in place for controlling them. The aim is to create safe systems & safe places of work.
H&S Management Systems
Based on the principle of Planning > Doing > Checking > Acting. They start with complying with legal requirements, but in addition can help install a system for continually checking the system in place is working and improving it where needed. It also helps keep up to date with changing legislation. Here at Monitor we want to work alongside you to develop a system that is workable, sustainable and sufficient to your needs.
Audits
Examining the system in place can provide reassurance to staff, management and clients. They can of course identify areas where improvement is possible. This shouldn’t be counted as a negative or something to be ashamed of. Undertaking audits shows the willingness of a company to have good Health & Safety, and the desire to continually improve.
Health & Safety Policy
Employers have a duty to create a policy that is individualised to their organisation and shared with all employees. Monitor can help you create a bespoke document which complies with all your legal requirements of assigning responsibilities and detailing the arrangements you have in place.
