Employment law and Health & Safety are very closely linked and you can’t do one without the other. Without an employee having a Contract of Employment then they are not agreeing to follow the Health & Safety Policy and so on. There are many legal requirements that an employer has to follow to become and remain legally compliant. This is why we also offer Employment law consultancy.

How can S H Health & Safety help?

At S H Health & Safety we understand that you may not have the time, knowledge or resource to ensure that you are legally compliant within the current and constantly changing legislation, and because it is an essential part of every Employers legal duty we have devised an Employment Law Starter pack. This starter pack includes:-
