The law states if you employ 5 or more people, you must have documented evidence to comply with the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974. Failure to do so can result in criminal prosecution, fines and even imprisonment. Does your company have the internal resources ? For small and medium sized businesses this can be a major administrative burden and cost. Employers do not always have enough time or expertise to tackle the problem and bringing in outside consultants can be very expensive, particularly if their recommendations cannot easily be put into practice. Most responsible employers see good business sense in complying with Health and Safety law but many find it difficult whilst continuing to run their business. The risks are there for all to see - to the health, safety and well being of their staff, to the reputation of the Company as well as the finances of the Company and its Directors, yet many Companies continue to take risks with all three by ignoring their legal obligations. IS YOUR BUSINESS INSURANCE VOID? Compulsory business insurances such as: Employers liability, Public Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance could be potentially void if you have not carried out your legal obligation. Your company can be extremely vulnerable if you do not have all the legally required Health and Safety documentation in place.
