Many businesses are growing increasingly frustrated with an ever-increasing workload generated by more and more Government health and safety regulations. Keeping up to date with the latest regulations can be a minefield for firms and when things go wrong, business owners are left facing the risk of prosecution, fines or even jail. In 2020 businesses have had even more to contend with due to the additional requirements placed upon them to make their workplaces ‘Covid-Secure’.
It is estimated 97% of businesses will never reach full health and safety compliance – it’s not their fault, they just haven’t got the time or knowledge to do it all themselves.
With the Government cracking down more on health and safety breaches, firms need cost effective ways to safeguard themselves now more than ever before.
Where can my business get help?
Acorn Safety Services has helped hundreds of business owners to become health and safety compliant without them having to do the hard work or making mistakes. We know that, whilst firms are looking for protection, they may not necessarily want the overhead of a full-time employee so we have put together a special package to assist companies. We provide a Retained Health and Safety Consultant Service which gives firms a support package that works for them and ensures they will be health and safety compliant in no time.
Why trust us?
Our team is expertly overseen by John Crockett IMaPS, SIIRSM RSP, ACIOB, who has more than 40 years’ experience in the field of health and safety. Members of our team have worked with businesses in a wide variety of sectors, including aviation, education, rail, local authorities, hospitals and nuclear power stations. They have also assisted firms in the construction industry to manage their health and safety needs on projects up to the value of £2bn.

Our promise
