With so many pieces of Health and Safety legislation, risk assessing can seem overwhelming at times. Why not let the Keep Safe team take the headache out of health and safety and do it all for you.

Fire Risk Assessments

Safe Systems of Work

Method statements or safe systems of work are required under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and are intended to provide both the client and the individuals that are carrying out work, with the necessary information to undertake the job safely.
