Get Safety Right

Off By Ed Hanna

Health & safety is not just a tick box exercise – and neither is the Armed Forces Covenant.

“Having Served in the Royal Navy, I was able to transfer key skills and build upon them, forging a successful career in the NHS and over the last 12 years working in my own health & safety consultancy”, says managing director, Clive Thorp.

“The majority of our business comes from personal recommendations based on being a trusted and reliable service. We have built up a network of other consultants, some of whom are ex-Forces. This has been an important development as we identify with the transferable qualities developed in the Forces that include hard work, honesty, integrity, teamwork and an ability to operate under pressure. It is for this reason that we signed the Armed Forces Covenant. We want to help ex-Forces personnel succeed.

There are several reasons why organisations should implement a health and safety system, including financial, legal and moral. It is our duty to ensure the safety of employees and visitors. The cost of getting it wrong is not just financial, it is also reputational, which can have a significant impact on your business.

We offer a friendly and professional service assisting clients with their health & safety requirements. This includes ensuring that organisations achieve and maintain compliance with the development and day-to-day support for health and safety systems.

We offer a discounted service to the Forces Family including the businesses that serve them as well as partners of Civvy Street Magazine. This starts with a free 30-minute initial consultation.”
