Health & Safety at Work Enforcement Support
Health & Safety at Work Enforcement
Workplace health and safety enforcement is carried out by two main authorities, depending on the type of business: your Local Council or the Health & Safety Executive (HSE). While these organisations may occasionally collaborate or provide mutual support, only one authority will take any enforcement action it considers necessary.
Health & Safety Recruitment Support in Gloucestershire
Recruitment Support & Short-Term Cover
Safety Hands Plus provides recruitment support and temporary cover to help organisations maintain legal compliance during challenging periods such as short- or long-term sickness, maternity leave, unexpected departures, or other staffing gaps within your safety team. Even during difficult times, not having access to legally required competent advice is not a defence if something goes wrong—especially when other pressures are present.
We are experienced in delivering short-, medium-, and long-term cover for projects or busy periods, including support for new site setups, cover while recruiting permanent staff, or assistance for site-based projects away from your main locations.
Finding the right health, safety, and environmental professional—whether for a global corporation or a small local business—can be complex. We believe successful recruitment is about people, which is why we take the time to understand your team, values, needs, and ambitions. By getting to know your organisation properly, we can match you with the right fit.
Whether your requirement is temporary or permanent, we offer a tailored solution to suit your situation. With over 20 years’ experience in recruiting safety professionals, Safety Hands Plus can support your in-house team with drafting job descriptions, reviewing applications, shortlisting, vetting, interviewing, and candidate selection.
Incident & Accident cSupport Services in Gloucestershire
Stop a Single Incident Turning Into a Major Issue
Incidents at work can carry significant consequences—not only for the people directly involved, but for your whole organisation. If they aren’t properly investigated, your business could be at risk:
You might face fines, legal claims, or enforcement action.
The root cause could go unnoticed, increasing the chance of it happening again.
Your reputation with employees, customers, and regulators could suffer.
Every year, work-related injuries and illnesses account for millions of lost working days. Each one represents disruption, downtime, and reduced revenue.
Take action quickly to safeguard your business.
