Over the years, Hamilton Deed have forged strong links with our partner companies which enable us to offer you a more complete solution. Health and safety issues are complex and often taking a wider view can be useful. So, rather than pretending we offer every related service ourselves, we stay true to our business principles of bringing in the experts. That way, we can ensure that through our partners, we can bring you the same level of experience and professionalism in all the fields detailed below.
Insurance underwriters and brokers: The comprehensive CAM assessment and rating we provide which is specific to your company is used by insurance underwriters to determine an accurate level of risk, and therefore their potential exposure, when insuring your business. This enables them to offer improved premiums for cover because they can see how you have acted to minimise these risks. Likewise, the same CAM ratings can be used by insurance brokers to ensure they can present your risk profile in the most positive way to achieve the most competitive premiums for you.
Legal support: When making any changes to working practices, it is essential that of course you are complying with all current employment legislation. With the support of our employment law partners, we can ensure any changes conform to current requirements. We can also offer legal advice should you be subject to an enquiry from the Health & Safety Executive, for business defence and litigation proceedings. We can offer a full range of legal services, but of particular interest may be advice that covers:
Physiotherapy: Back problems and musculo-skeletal injuries are one of the major causes of absence in the workplace. These can often be caused by poor posture or working practices. Addressing these issues can have a substantial impact on managing absence and can also help with the rehabilitation of returning employees.
Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme: The building and construction industry is one where health and safety issues are paramount. A mistake here can lead to serious injury and even death. For this reason, local authority health and safety and procurement professionals, with the support of the Health and Safety Executive, have developed the Contractor Health and Safety assessment scheme (CHAS). Hamilton Deed are able to automatically award this to companies in the construction industry that achieve our low-risk CAM rating.
E-learning: Correct risk management techniques and employee health and safety training costs are common sources of frustration to businesses. A simple solution to both these issues is to develop an e-learning approach for your business. Learn more about this internet based solution, accredited by RoSPA, and how it can help you.
