Health and Safety Consultancy Services
Foley and Baugh advise clients in Great Yarmouth and throughout Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and the whole of East Anglia on health and safety at work.
Health and safety law exists for everyone’s benefit. It’s there to protect you, your employees and others who may be affected by your operations.
Did you know…?
If you have five or more employees, you have a number of responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. You’re legally obliged to provide a written health and safety policy statement, complete with a clear written account of how you propose to implement it and fulfil its aims.
Daunting, isn’t it?
It doesn’t need to be. If you have a professional advisor on board, creating a health and safety management system is all very straightforward and stress-free.
Let’s get started
The extent of your health and safety management system will depend on two main factors: the size of your organisation and the complexity of your operations. Foley and Baugh will talk to you to understand your organisation’s operations, areas of risk and special requirements. We’ll then write a health and safety policy for you, and we’ll ensure you understand it fully before you put your name to it.
We’ll help you detail in writing your organisational arrangements for carrying out your policy objectives; we’ll guide you in identifying and recording significant workplace risks; and we’ll help you communicate your policy to your employees. Foley and Baugh will also return to review these arrangements with you regularly, to ensure you remain compliant.
Here at Foley and Baugh, we offer professional health and safety advice and guidance that’s cost-effective, easy to understand and proportionate to the needs of your organisation.
The Foley and Baugh Health and Safety Management Standard
Together with our client partners, we’ve developed a Health and Safety Management Standard to provide a platform your organisation can build on. Leveraging your own industry knowledge and experience, we’ll work together to achieve a safe and healthy future for all your employees, partners and customers. We’ll be on hand to assist you and your team in achieving the highest standards of health and safety management.
We’ll help you to develop a positive culture which will secure your employees’ commitment to work in a safe and healthy manner.
Here are some highlights of the Health and Safety Management Standard:
- A written statement of Health and Safety Policy
- Your company’s risk management strategy
- A detailed description of your organisational structure and the roles and responsibilities
- A strategy to achieve employee engagement
- Procedures for inspection and auditing (internal and external)

Ongoing health and safety support
