Norfolk-based BLS Safety and Training has extended its product offering to include a three-tier range of health and safety consultancy retainer packages. It is a legal requirement under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 that all businesses and the self-employed must have access to competent health and safety advice. Health and safety consultancy has long been a core service offered by BLS Safety and Training, and Managing Director Justin Cowles is now pleased to offer a number of consultancy retainer packages to help local Norfolk businesses meet these requirements. The business has launched Bronze, Silver and Gold level retainer packages, each providing varying levels of support and advice. The packages are designed to meet different business needs, for a range of business sizes and budgets in the current difficult economic climate. “By grouping our services into varying packages, we are helping small and large business meet the obligations of health and safety legislation,” explains Justin Cowles, BLS Safety and Training managing director. “This is not only simplifying what can be a very daunting part of a running a business, but also provides good value for money at a difficult time for business owners, providing 12 months of cover and all-year-round advice and support.” Even at the most basic level, the Bronze package enables businesses to name BLS Safety and Training as their retained ‘Competent Persons’, which will assist businesses to fulfil their statutory duties under Regulation 7 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. Alongside this, all packages provide a full audit of health and safety documentation, on-hand advice, and regular updates on legislation and guidelines, as well as access to health and safety documentation. The packages provide business owners with 12 months of cover, and when the 12 months is coming to an end, BLS Safety and Training will make contact before the renewal date to ensure businesses are covered. The Silver and Gold packages also include bespoke documentation and SSIP accreditation assistance, as well as varying levels of workplace visits and support with RAMS documentation. A long-time member of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH), business owner and manager Justin has a wealth of experience in an array of industry sectors, including equestrian, agriculture, healthcare, leisure, hospitality and events. Alongside health and safety consultancy, the BLS Safety and Training team provides fire risk assessments, face fit testing, and training courses for businesses and organisations throughout Norwich and Norfolk.
