Employment Law and Health & Safety Services

In 2003 more than 125,000 employment tribunal claims were lodged and in the case of health & safety more than 400,000 reportable injuries were recorded. Have you ever considered the implications if you had a dispute with an employee or ex-employee? What would happen if the Health & Safety Executive (HSE) served you with an Improvement Notice or Prohibition Notice? What if they decide to prosecute you? Two things are inevitable as a result of any of these events. It will cost you a lot of money and it will cost you a lot of time.

Employment legislation is constantly changing and you as an employer are expected not only to be fully conversant with the law but obliged to comply with it. Health & safety law is now being policed more closely by the HSE than ever before. And increasingly, Directors and Partners are being taken to court for breaching the Health and Safety at Work Act. Because of this, it is important for all businesses to consider taking out insurance against this.

Prices start from as little as £450 for a year’s cover and will protect your business with telephone advice, insurance to cover representation at tribunals and any subsequent awards, practical assistance with contract and handbook preparation, etc.

The cost of the insurance cover is based on the number of employees/directors employed by the business and the price is as follows:
