NFU Mutual Risk Management Services Ltd

Are you aware of all your legal Health and Safety responsibilities?

We offer targeted, tailored advice backed-up with practical support. With our background in this sector, we understand the specific risks and issues faced every day. Whilst the rural sector accounts for a large proportion of our clients, we also have the expertise to provide health and safety support to a much wider range of industry sectors. We do not believe in a one size fits all solution.

RMS’s key strength is its people. We do not sub-contract our service or use associate consultants. All our Health and Safety Consultants are employed by NFU Mutual and are subject to on-going auditing and appraisal to ensure they maintain the highest standards of work. We offer CMIOSH consultants, who appear on the Occupational Safety and Health Consultants Register (www.oshcr.org).

KEY QUESTIONS TO CONSIDER

1. Are you aware of all your legal Health and Safety responsibilities?

2. Does your business have an up to date Health and Safety Policy?

3. Have you carried out all necessary risk assessments?

4. Does your business have a responsible person for day to day Health and Safety Management?

5. Do you keep up to date with changes in Health and Safety law?

8. Are you up to date with the Health and Safety Executive’s Fees for Intervention?

9. Have you ensured all your employees/contractors have received adequate information and training about Health and Safety?

10. Are you confident that your business workplace is safe?
