Introducing ParkHill’s Health and Safety Support Service Workplace injury costs the health sector an estimated 793,000 working days annually. The associated loss in productivity places strain on already stretched NHS resources and budgets. Following the introduction of the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007, organisations can now be held criminally liable for fatal health and safety breaches. An organisation’s attitude to health and safety, and its safe systems of work, policies and practices will be scrutinised by a jury in order to determine the extent of its wrongdoing. Despite this, It is often difficult for in-house health and safety professionals to juggle their day-to-day management responsibilities alongside undertaking proactive development work.
How ParkHill Can Help ParkHill’s Health and Safety support service bridges this gap. We help those responsible for health and safety in the NHS to meet their legal requirements to protect patients, staff and visitors both now and into the future. ParkHill’s expert advisers provide the specialist knowledge, insight and resources to ensure that organisations manage their risks effectively. Clients benefit from: ▪ A fresh perspective on their health and safety arrangements, drawing on our knowledge of the latest thinking and best practice ▪ Qualified (IOSH accredited) advisors who understand the NHS context and can work at management level to help build a positive health and safety culture ▪ A high quality, responsive service from highly motivated professionals who are committed to the success of the NHS Regardless of the size or complexity of the task, our objective is to assist clients to manage safety with excellence. We pride ourselves in offering a high standard of service, including accommodating ad-hoc and last minute requests and working to tight deadlines.
