:: Aston's Asset - HEALTH AND SAFETY ::

HEALTH AND SAFETY
As a providers of professional audit services, we are aware of the necessity of a robust Health and Safety policy as
a key aid to running a successful business. Quite apart from the human costs of accidents at work, there is also a financial cost to be considered, in terms of lost revenue and possible payment for damages when a member of staff is injured at work.
We specialise in audit for the Leisure and Catering Industries including bespoke Health and Safety reports. Perhaps surprisingly The Catering Industry ranks highly amongst businesses whose staff are particularly
‘at risk’ from injury whilst at work.
Why should you choose Aston Asset Valuers for your next Health and Safety Report?
1 We specialise in Catering and Leisure Industry audits, and have done for over 20 years. Accordingly our reports are geared to YOUR business.
2 We offer a bespoke audit, tailored to your specific requirements. In our experience each business is different, therefore we don’t offer a ‘one size fits all’ solution.
3 We identify the risks particularly in ‘high-risk’ areas such as kitchens, and report our findings to client in clear easy to understand terms. We are supporters of the Plain English Campaign.
4 We are members of IOSH (The Institute of Occupational Health and Safety) and subscribe to their Code of Conduct.
5 We audit to OHSAS 18001*, the UK Health and Safety Quality audit standard.

*The OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health & Safety
Management Standard was introduced in 1999 as a way
for organisations to demonstrate their commitment to
Health & Safety Management and show their customers
that health and safety matters are of paramount
importance to their organisation.

Here is an example of the main topics we consider when we prepare a Health and Safety audit. We identify specifics relevant to your business – including individual businesses within a group – and report to you in a clear concise manner. As part of our environmental policy, we will use electronic means where at all possible when compiling and sending our report. We can supply a finished report as either a Word, Excel or PDF document.
