 FREE (IFEDA members) SEMINAR Wednesday 7^th November : IFEDA National Office, Buckingham

The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) introduced new legislation on 1^st October 2012 which includes the introduction of fees, amounting to £124.00 per hour for comparatively minor issues; not just Enforcement Notices but for any intervention from them.  The potential cost implications of this on small businesses are high. 

With this in mind, we have arranged a FREE seminar, for IFEDA members, introducing the changes in legislation, and how you could be liable even if a client incurs fees from the HSE.

 This Health & Safety seminar can help you ensure you remain legally compliant, and avoid substantial costs; indicated to be in the region of £16,000 by some companies who piloted the programme.

The introduction of fees from the HSE could potentially impact your business as a supplier of fire safety products and services.  Where a business is found to be in breach of health and safety legislation, this could potentially impact the whole supply chain, not just the business involved.  The HSE can allocate a proportion of the costs, both up and down the supply chain; if this happens to a customer of yours, it could have a potentially damaging impact on your business as a supplier of their fire protection products and services.

 This comprehensive seminar will cover variety of topics directly relevant to the industry, such as asbestos in buildings, and the completion of risk assessments.  You will be fully informed of the recent changes in Health and Safety legislation and can discuss any areas of particular interest or concern. 

This new legislation can also act as an opportunity for you to further your knowledge and be aware of the impact of the legislation when undertaking work for customers.  Ensuring all your staff are knowledgeable and fully trained are also a crucial part of your own internal health and safety policies.

The FREE seminar is on Wednesday 7^th November, from 10.00am to 12.00noon – book your place today by emailing Pam at info@ifeda.org or calling 0844 225 1800.

Ensure you’re fully aware of the new changes in legislation – book your place today.

 On tel’s behalf “Many thanks for your help.”
