Facts

The health, safety and welfare of staff, audience and performers must always be the first consideration in the planning, management and running of any show, performance or event; of secondary consideration is the presentation or continuation of the show, performance or event. STAGESAFE will help ensure the show goes on!

There does not need to have been an accident for you to be in breach of health and safety law. The keeping of records and paperwork are vitally important as they are usually the only way you can prove your innocence.

A breach of health and safety law is a criminal offence and the penalties include high fines, imprisonment, down time, loss of business and reputation, legal costs, medical costs, civil claims, trauma and increased insurance costs, new legislation may even prevent you from running a business in future! Your insurance may not be valid for a breach of criminal law, hence the service we offer could be the best insurance you ever have!

Many things happen best when they are unplanned: sadly, health and safety management is not one of them. Safety has to be carefully planned and managed. It is not a bolt-on extra; it needs thought and input so that it becomes an integral part of your business management systems.

Many companies, businesses and the self-employed find great difficulty in coming to terms with the requirements of health and safety legislation because of such things as constant pressure on time, perceived unmanageable bureaucracy, increased costs and the sheer scale of the subject. STAGESAFE offers a carefully constructed support that is affordable and effective in establishing the basics required to comply with the law at the same time as assisting companies and businesses design and implement a pro-active development programme for managing health and safety.

Each company is different and requires individual analysis to establish priority areas requiring attention. From the essentials of understanding the legislation and how that applies to your operation, through to designing and assisting with the implementation of viable management systems, STAGESAFE offer constant support. The key factors are effective planning and, most importantly, physical support during a period of implementation. In reality, you will have programmed practical assistance over a period that will not allow the best intentions fall by the wayside.

The service we offer will ensure that your company is put on the right track and at the right level for your operation. The Health & Safety Executive understand and accept that everything cannot be done at once, and that improvements take time. What they will not accept is little or nothing being done and no clear evidence of any commitment to future development of health and safety management.

As well as introductory information on the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, current regulations and guidelines, the service can include the preparation of a health and safety plan and producing a bespoke company health and safety policy. This is the core document showing the company’s commitment, organisation and arrangements for implementing health and safety procedures. This will be subsequent to a benchmarking health and safety check/audit.

Our services can include training in the concept and use of risk assessment, as the key process for achieving a proactive management methodology is a priority. Another key feature we can offer is that by including the staff of the company, at every level who can be involved and expected to contribute to the overall process.
