Health and Safety Compliance
HEALTH AND SAFETY COMPLIANCE
Facilities management is dominated by legislation making legal and regulatory compliance one of the core functions; especially in the health and safety side of the job.
There are regulations in place that your organisation must follow to make sure it is safe and legal. These rules help to protect your employees, customers, and other stakeholders. You are lucky to have these rules because, without them, the workplace would be much harder.
Did you know that Industrial sites, including commercial kitchens, should have their portable and handheld equipment tested every 6 months? Are other stationary, movable, or IT equipment recommended to be tested every 12 months?
Is it worth the risk of a staff member receiving an electric shock from faulty equipment, or of tripping or falling, because the emergency lighting failed on that most unusual occasion when it was needed? Claim costs can be very expensive, or worse still, a fatality can easily occur. CPL Service Response has the equipment to provide regularised, routine maintenance for legislative requirements here at a very small cost, providing the staff and management of your business with peace of mind. Each portable appliance will have a sticker indicating the test date and result, and emergency lighting results are recorded in a log system so you can prove your business’s compliance.
Again, this is something that can be easily overlooked. Still, your business electrical installation must be fully tested and certified every five years to BS7671 NIC 17th Edition, and visual inspections should be carried out annually. Don’t need to remind you that simple earth issues or faults, if left unchecked, could be cheaply repaired or upgraded but can ultimately result in death.
Is it worth spending a couple of hundred pounds a year to safeguard you, your workers and their families from such a potentially horrific experience? CPL Response can help by scheduling the correct dates so you don’t have to remember, keeping you and your business legally and personally safeguarded.
COSHH regulation requires employers to control substances with potential health hazards. It involves comprehensive health surveillance and an emergency plan to implement control measures to minimize health harms.
Another headache and effectively taken away from you! We are also quite capable of attending to high-bay lighting, car park lighting, flood lighting as well as general office lighting.
We can provide Risk Assessments and Method Statements for our work and your business in general, and undertake COSHH assessments. Call us today for further details.
Do your fixed assets on your balance sheet really reflect the plant and equipment that you have in service? Shouldn’t you know, but you don’t seem to have the time to check? Wouldn’t you like to know so that you are in control and know the true value?
These are questions that Accountants and Company Directors ask at least annually! CPL Service Response can provide a full asset survey on an annual basis to suit your needs, recording equipment details via a bar-code system and listing every item of equipment, what it does, where it is located, and its estimated useful service life. This leaves you to determine a true book value, include other information such as purchase information, and monitor ongoing maintenance costs.
In addition to above, we deal in a wide array of Risk Assessments and Method Statements specific to your industry and business type.
