Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005

Whilst a lot of the changes should not be too difficult to deal with inside your business, there is now a requirement for you to manage your own day to day fire safety arrangements. More Details >

Press Focus

During the initial development of our SafeCom software in 2005, various members of the Safety Management team took time out to attend networking events hosted by bodies such as the Lancashire Digital Development Agency (LDDA) and the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWRDA) in order to analyse our existing IT setup and make informed decisions about where we needed to be. The first key decision resulting from this was our switch to broadband, and there have been several press releases focusing on our success.

Here are two examples:

• ICT Assists Health and Safety - NWRDA
• Broadband helps Brian take on the World - LDDA

Work Experience Report

My name is Kyle Bateson and this week (3rd - 7th July) I am taking part in the Work Experience Programme at Safety Management (UK). Hopefully I will gain an insight into the running of an independent safety management business as I have been given the opportunity to go out into the world and try something new. I'm looking forward to an exciting week. It should be interesting seeing health and safety from a different point of view.

I have already seen the wide range of diversity of the clients that Safety Management UK deal with. So far I have seen the health and safety issues involved when running a volunteers' bus company, a builder's yard and a pub. In the next few days I am visiting an Architect and several other businesses.

I hope to get a lot out of this week such as seeing how companies need health and safety to carry on with their business, as well as seeing how business work in the world of today.

During his stay with us, Kyle took some interesting photographs of the surrounding area and helped put together a brief guide to our location.The images, and accompanying article, can be seen here.
