Ensure safe working practices with hands-on help from health and safety professionals

When you’re busy running a business, it’s not always possible to give health and safety the attention it deserves. At the same time, you’re aware that falling short could result in claims and criminal breaches, potentially harming your reputation and bottom line. 

Bira Health & Safety is designed to take the pressure off health and safety compliance, protect your business, staff and customers, and give you much-needed peace of mind.

Delivered by the experts at WorkNest, you’ll have access to award-winning software, your own highly-qualified consultant, policy creation and more. This fixed fee health and safety service is available at a preferential rate for Bira members.

What’s included

When it comes to health and safety, most independent retailers don’t have the luxury of internal resource or expertise, potentially exposing your business – and your employees and customers – to unnecessary risk.

Bira Health & Safety provides a complete solution to retailers’ health and safety needs. What’s more, as a fixed-fee service, it offers excellent value for money – giving you access to all the professional support you need with complete reassurance over cost.

Key features include:

• Unlimited advice and guidance from a qualified, sector-experienced Health & Safety specialist;
• An annual General Risk Assessment (GRA) to identify any areas where you fall short of requirements and keep you compliant;
• Award-winning software where you can monitor the progress of your GRA action plan and check your risk status in real time;
• A robust policy and handbook to provide a firm foundation for compliance and promote safe practices; and
• Acting as one of your competent persons, which all organisations must have to enable them to fulfil the requirements of health and safety law.

The Compliance Centre

Included as part of your fixed fee health and safety service, the compliance centre helps you to monitor and manage the status of your risks and General Risk assesment.
