Health and safety is a huge issue for all sectors and industries across the UK. Staying on top of the legislation and putting in place the right processes and procedures has never been so important, particularly in light of the recent coronavirus pandemic.

Managing health and safety and ensuring your remain up to date undoubtedly involves a lot of time and effort, even for smaller and medium-sized businesses. Employing an H&S executive inhouse for your company is not always the most cost-effective solution, however.

Having health and safety outsourced for businesses has become more and more popular over the last five to ten years. Like many other services, there are some big benefits in taking this approach.

 The Benefits of Outsourcing Health and Safety

One of the major benefits of outsourced health and safety is the reduced cost. Services can be tailored to your individual needs and industry, making sure you stay on top of your legal obligations while staying in control of your budget.

You have much wider access to expertise in one place. If you employ someone in-house to manage your health and safety, it can be costly but also may not deliver the knowledge and expertise that you are looking for. Your H&S executive may have gaps in their knowledge or not come with the updated skills that you need, for example.

With an outsourced service from a health and safety company, you can be confident that you have all the expertise you need relating to your industry, as and when you require it.

The other benefit is that outsourced health and safety can be scaled up or down depending on your needs. If your business is growing or moving into new areas, you can develop your H&S service so that you cover all the bases. If you need to cut back, for some reason, the service can be adjusted again to meet your needs.
