Health and safety issues in the workplace do not have to be complicated and difficult to deal with, says the head of a Broxbourne-based specialist company, which is marking its first anniversary this month.

Ramsay Safety Solutions has spent the last 12 months helping many small and medium sized companies and organisations with their health and safety obligations. It is important to understand the benefits to businesses of all sizes of having proper health and safety practices in place.

Ramsay Safety Solutions Managing Director Carlo Gattuso believes very strongly in making health and safety issues simple, assisting companies to avoid getting caught up in unnecessary red tape. He said: “We have been aiming to offer worthwhile services at affordable prices. I cannot stress enough the importance of having health and safety systems in place.

It is better to be proactive, rather than to be served with an improvement notice. “I would advise companies not to be complacent. With forward planning it is possible to manage and keep the required documentation and inspections up to date.” Carlo is firmly rooted in the local community, and is a school governor among his many other commitments.

He has built up years of experience in businesses of differing types, including engineering, aerospace, electrical, manufacturing, cleaning, schools and care homes, amongst many others. Bespoke work can be carried out to companies’ individual requirements. Existing clients have benefited from specific risk assessments, COSHH assessments, audits and policy formation.

Bespoke health and safety management systems can also be prepared, making the process of monitoring safety more straightforward. The company is experienced in processing and submitting accreditations, including CHAS, EXOR, Construction Line and Safe Contractor.
