Is your waste or recycling business compliant?
Between now and March 2023 The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) will carry out 500 site inspections. This will be done unannounced in the waste and recycling business sectors.
The waste and recycling sectors have poor safety records and those businesses need to do more to keep their employees safe. It’s more than just ticking a box.
Each business within this sector should be looking at the HSE standards and be aware of its legal duties. But it’s more than that, it’s about managing those risks effectively and being aware of any gaps.
All businesses should be reactive and not just preventative

Health and Safety Management System Gap Analysis
One of the services we offer is a health and safety management audit or gap analysis. This is a detailed assessment of your current levels of compliance and management.
It is a systematic process to assess current arrangements by management to identify current strengths and highlight potential improvement opportunities for developing and improving an effective health and safety management system for you, your employees, and your workplace.
The gap analysis is a critical evaluation to find the gaps between an organisation’s current safety culture and the standards it wishes to meet. Be that baseline statutory compliance or gold medal standard.
HSE wants to make these business sectors aware of the unannounced visits so they can prepare and ensure they meet their legal obligations. So, before your workplace is visited by HSE why not contact us to ensure you are complaint?
Don’t let your business be one of those that fail to meet the requirements and put its employees at risk
