Risk Management Services

Whilst we at Blackfriars Group are dedicated to ensuring you the very best advice in and information on your insurance requirements there are ways in which you can help yourself avoid future claims of neglect, protect yourself from prosecution as well as reducing future insurance costs.

 Keeping pace with Governmental legislation can be a nightmare in itself.  Detailed below are three of the key legislations in action today.

 Health & Safety at work legislation requires that all UK companies employing staff must assess and demonstrate good health & safety practise

 The Fire Precautions Workplace Legislation (1999) requires all companies employing staff to conduct and document a fire risk assessment.

 The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations (1999) require that you identify and implement any preventative or protective measures in relation to your risk assessment.

 Independent research suggests that the majority of companies employing 1-25 people have yet to address this legal requirement leaving them legally and personally exposed.

 Failure to comply with this legislation can not only result in prosecution from the policing authorities but if an accident or fire were to happen in the workplace resulting in an injury or fatality you as the employer could be prosecuted.

 We at the Blackfriars Group take risk assessments very seriously and that is why we have researched the market for products, which not only allow compliance with current legislation but are affordable and easy to complete.  Two such products available are ‘Firesmart’ which takes you though a fire risk assessment, and ‘Health & SafetySmart’ which identifies which legislation applies to your business and keeps you updated with any legislation changes and its effects on your business as well as a unique on-line accident reporting system.

 Both the Firesmart and Health & SafetySmart products have been developed as on-line risk assessment tools, which are easy to complete and offers the user unlimited access to our in-house experts as well as a comprehensive online help console. Due to these products being delivered via the internet there are no additional software/ upgrades required, only a web browser.

 If you wish to purchase either of these products you can either follow the link at the bottom of this page or call our advisors on 0845 838 7960.
