Compliance Services
Compliance governance is a fundamental part of an organisation’s overall risk management function.
Against a backdrop of prescriptive regulation and corporate prosecutions, companies can expect their health and safety management systems to come under increasing scrutiny. In addition to regulators, businesses should expect markets, investors and wider stakeholders to become more sophisticated and demanding in respect of health and safety performance.
The key to long-term and sustained health and safety success is leadership. Strong leadership will rely on the effective use of rigorous processes, systems and tools that focus on statutory compliance and continual improvement. Failure to comply with health and safety legislation has both human and business costs.
