Office Safety
As a responsible employer, office safety is one of the many areas of focus for your company and your employees. We understand the benefits of developing individuals and teams to support positive safety, health and environmental culture.
In general health and safety laws apply to all businesses. As an employer you are ultimately responsible for the office safety.
From home offices through to large corporate premises, SQE has extensive experience and knowledge of the issues facing the everyday office workplace.
We can assist with everything from fire and electrical safety, first aid and slip and trip hazards through to environmental and COSHH assessments, equality, stress management, return to work, and training.
Managing your staff also encompasses the minefield of employment law – SQE can provide a full employment law service backed up by indemnity insurance. This will help you to maintain good HR practices to avoid expensive, time consuming employment tribunals, and possible prosecution.
