Aston Croft Health & Safety Solutions not only specialise in helping construction firms win business, we also help a range of business sectors satisfy their health and safety requirements. Companies engage our services to satisfy safety at work legislation documentation and provide evidence of a safety culture. Aston Croft Health & Safety Solutions provides consultancy ranging from a full health and safety audit and risk assessment of your premises, policies and procedures to specific risk assessments on activities such as construction and engineering.
Many organisations often cannot afford a full time health & safety manager nor do they have the time to get involved in detailed legislative requirements themselves. Outsourcing your health and safety function is the only cost effective way to stay within the law. In our experience outsourcing your health and safety requirements to a professional company like ours is a cost effective way of increasing the likelihood of your company winning more contracts.
Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 all employers have a legal obligation to manage health and safety, to assess all significant risks and to control any risks that cannot be removed. Also, that every employer shall appoint one or more competent persons to assist in undertaking the measures needed to comply with the requirements and prohibitions imposed upon him by or under the relevant statutory provisions including Part II of the Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations 1997.

On the 1st April 2006 the Regulatory reform (Fire & Safety) order, came into force. All existing fire legislation has been repealed including the Fire Precautions Act 1971, Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulations 1997/99 and Management of Health & Safety in the Workplace Regulations 1999.
It is important to understand that fire risk assessment is not the same as a fire certificate. Every business owner and employer must be able to demonstrate the following:
- All fire risks have been assessed and the results recorded with written fire risk assessments.
- Records to show that fire fighting equipment has been provided, properly maintained and regularly inspected.
- An Emergency Action Plan has been written, confirmed and published.
- Assurance that staff have received fire training in the use of equipment & procedures in the event of fire.
- There are adequate means of fire detection, warning systems and escape routes in place to allow people to leave the building safely.
- Action plans have been formulated and signed off to indicate proposed completion dates and actual completion dates.
It is important that organisations place ‘health and safety at work’ at the top of their priorities in order to comply with legal requirements, protect your staff and minimize costs from workplace accidents and illness. Aston Croft Health & Safety Solutions can help with all aspects of health and safety at work.
