Expert Defense & Representation
Health & Safety Specialists
You can’t ignore health & safety, but sometimes you can’t find the time to put 100% into ensuring you’re compliant. By outsourcing your business needs, we can help keep your business and workforce safe.
Specialist health & safety guidance for UK businesses
Whether it’s something as simple as a Health & Safety policy, risk assessments, inspections or a health & safety handbook, keeping your organisation compliant is simply not a tick box exercise.
Health and safety legislation and regulations are complex and ever-changing. It’s important you’re keeping your staff, clients, and visitors safe. The repercussions of not being compliant mean fines, prison and damage to your reputation. Can you afford that? Let WorkNest keep you compliant so you can keep your organisation flourishing.

Environmental Health & Safety Specialists
Environmental health and safety in the workplace encompass the policies and procedures designed to protect employees, the public, and the environment from risks and hazards. This practice is crucial for ensuring legal compliance, promoting employee wellbeing, and enhancing productivity.
WorkNest can help by providing expert health and safety specialists and environmental health and safety specialists who offer tailored advice and practical solutions. Our specialists conduct thorough risk assessments, develop customised safety policies, and provide ongoing support to ensure your workplace remains safe and compliant. With WorkNest, you can confidently address health and safety challenges and protect your people and business.
In the worst case scenario, missteps can lead to an Employment Tribunal claim. Unfortunately for employers, now that Tribunal fees have been scrapped, there’s nothing to stop litigious employees pursuing legal action. With the average award for unfair dismissal sitting at almost £14,000 and discrimination claims costing closer to £30,000, the cost of going it alone can be significant. Of course, as well as the impact on your bottom line, there’s also reputational damage to consider.
But it’s not all about legal risk. Employee relations issues can impede productivity, affect morale, and contribute to a high turnover. They put a strain on management, destabilise your workforce, and ultimately affect your ability to deliver on key objectives. If you’re not an Employment Law expert, the time and stress involved in dealing with your people problems can become a considerable burden — one that will only increase as your organisation grows.
Good legal advice, on the other hand, helps employers avoid these pitfalls. It enables them to handle risks effectively, streamline their operations, and make informed decisions. This not only ensures compliance with the law but also contributes to a healthier work environment and a stronger, more resilient business.
