Even if you buy a ticket every week for a year, you’re still 20 times more likely to suffer a fatal home accident than to win the National Lottery!

In Britain we enjoy some of the safest working conditions in the world, but for those organisations that are ‘higher performers’ in occupational safety and health, the challenge now is to extend their health and safety systems and culture to help their employees to remain safe when they are outside the workplace. RoSPA has produced a paper and would appreciate your views on the subject.

If you’re faced with the daunting task of planning health and safety training for your team you’re no doubt currently looking to ensure that you get real value for money. Unless the necessary planning has been undertaken it’s all too easy to squander a limited budget on courses that may not address individual’s needs. With this in mind, and following demand from key clients, RoSPA has developed a Training Needs Analysis Consultancy service. Click here, or call 0121 248 2034 to find out more.

Legal Advice with your RoSPA Membership?

With so many changes in legislation in the world of health and safety, keeping up with key legal issues can sometimes be a challenge.  At times, it may be beneficial to seek legal advice on matters that may be a little outside the realms of a health and safety professional.

RoSPA currently offers Members free health and safety telephone consultancy as part of their Membership package. If legal advice were also available within a Premium RoSPA Membership package, how valuable a benefit would this be to you?

If you would find this benefit valuable, please click here to email us.  You can also leave your details for further information. 

Data protection: By leaving your details, you consent to us contacting  you with further information on our products and services.

Recent high profile prosecutions and fines have made this a hot subject for Residential Homes, Nursing Homes and Domiciliary Services. This is just one of the subjects included in RoSPA’s New Key Issues Briefing.
