What is Primary Authority?
The Primary Authority (PA) initiative enables a business to form a legal partnership with a local authority, which then provides assured advice on health and safety regulations. Other local authorities must recognise this partnership, even if they interpret the regulations differently. This ensures a consistent approach to regulation and enforcement in England.
How will this benefit my business?
When you become a WorkNest Health & Safety client, you automatically receive health and safety policies and handbooks from WorkNest that has been assured by our Primary Authority. This means that whether you operate from a single site (within or outside of the Council of the City of Wakefield) or have premises that span multiple local authorities, our direct Primary Authority partnership provides you with an extra layer of confidence and support providing you follow our advice.
Other independent regulatory bodies, such as the HSE, may also consider Primary Authority assurance when engaging with your business.
