Consult GEE helps cut 6.6bn of personal injury claims

Last year there were almost 300,000 claims for compensation made against organisations in the UK, costing a total of 6.6bn .

Those organisations that do not comply with health and safety legislation are taking a big risk, leaving them open not only to compensation claims from employees, but also fines from regulatory bodies, and higher insurance costs.
Health and Safety specialist Consult GEE announces the launch of a new service Consult GEE Essential Health & Safety. It is aimed at easing the burden of those responsible for health and safety by helping them to comply with the increasingly complicated rules and regulations.

The service includes:
a health and safety audit, where Consult GEEís health and safety specialists visit their clientsí offices to identify if they are complying with the guidelines and, as necessary, provide advice on how to implement improvements

an action plan to help prioritise and monitor progress, ensuring a safer working environment for staff

access to a staffed helpline, which provides advice 24-hours a day, seven days a week

online support allowing easy access to information and documents on a range of topics, ensuring clients can demonstrate compliance with health and safety guidelines

updates on changes to legislation to ensure customers remain compliant with the law and have advanced warning of any changes they need to make.

Martin Redfern, Head of Advisory Services at Consult GEE comments: ìKeeping up with the health and safety rules is a huge responsibility for employers. They are often not aware of the regulations, nor do they have the time to ensure that they comply with them. We aim to provide a complete service giving advice on Health & Safety issues; making certain that employers achieve the required levels of compliance, while ensuring they are aware of precisely what they need to do to adhere to the regulations.î
