Four One Safety Solutions have developed a cost-effective retainer scheme to help businesses and organisations to meet their legal requirements under the Management Regulations. A retainer simply assists your company to meet certain obligations under health, safety, environmental & further associated legislation by providing a group of services into one package. Our health and safety retainer service gives business owners and employers confidence that they have support if needed. With the ever-changing legislative requirements coupled with the increased activity of the Health and Safety Executive, we aim to deliver peace of mind to Directors and Managers across all business sectors in this key area of compliance.

Why Your Business Needs a Retainer

Regulation 7 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations requires employers to manage health and safety and have access to competent advice. Under the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974, all employers have a duty to manage health & safety. It is therefore up to management to make sure that someone within the organisation is “Competent” to undertake the role of health & safety duties. Four One Safety Solutions can help your business by providing this advice and helping you to comply with your legal obligations. We understand that small companies cannot afford to have a permanent full-time health & safety representative employed and therefore this is the cost-effective solution to overcoming this problem.

If you are applying for all SSIP such as CHAS, Constructionline, Safe Contractor, Achilles Registration, or applying for tenders and select lists you will be able to forward a copy of your Retainer Scheme Registration certificate and a copy of your assigned Health & Safety Consultants CV & Qualifications.
