For Total Business Protection
Health and Safety Company UK
Ensure health and safety compliance with UK regulations with our trusted team of advisers.
Ensure legal compliance with our health and safety company for employers
From the Health and Safety at Work Act to more specific regulations like COSHH, RIDDOR and PUWER, there’s a lot for your business to get to grips with. And a great deal of scope for non-compliance.
Even with the best intentions, it can sometimes be impossible to give health and safety the attention it deserves. Plus, even if you do have somebody in-house to deal with these matters, unless they live and breathe health and safety (and have the qualifications, skills and experience to be considered competent), your premises or practices may leave you exposed to risk. So what’s the solution?

The simple and secure way to manage health & safety compliance
If you don’t have the time or expertise to manage health and safety internally, the safest way to ensure your business stays on the right track is with support from an expert health and safety company.
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.
The essentials behind a health and safety comp
Admin and correspondence
Offer a constant source of practical Employment Law advice on a full spectrum of employee relations issues, from the seemingly simple to the most complex;
Strategy and negotiation
Guide you every step of the way through difficult situations – including gross misconduct, discrimination complaints and redundancy – advising on the correct process to follow and the legal pitfalls to avoid;
Seamless representation

How a health and safety company can support your business
You're likely looking for professional help as you don’t have the expertise required to manage health and safety internally. With this in mind, you want to ensure the health and safety company responsible for your compliance has the best qualifications and real, hands-on experience of supporting organisations like yours.
Do employment tribunals favour employers?
WorkNest blends legal expertise with commercial awareness, giving you confidence in managing employment law challenges;
Our team includes more than six times the number of qualified solicitors compared to larger competitors, each with over five years’ experience;
Your dedicated adviser ensures you always have expert guidance and reliable support when you need it.
Are all employment tribunal decisions published?
You’re taking a reactive, rather than proactive, approach to employee relations matters, allowing problems to occur then paying to fix them;
You’re without day-to-day support and therefore have to find the answers to your queries yourself or resort to guesswork; and
You pay by the hour, meaning you can expect a significant bill whenever professional help is needed, especially if the issue is complex.
