We bring the valuable perspective that can only come from the experience of actually enforcing health and safety law. Understanding the objectives, attitudes and approach of law enforcers is critical in advising on how best to approach your health and safety legal duties.

Health and safety is often seen negatively, but meeting legal duties is usually much simpler and more reasonable than ‘blame culture’ rhetoric might suggest. Worse, that negative image may be actively encouraged by some advisors keen to convince clients that reams of paperwork and ongoing, expensive support are needed. This is especially true where ‘off the shelf’ material is used. Ready-prepared health and safety policies or procedures are cheap and easy for the supplier to deliver, but for the customer can be relatively expensive and bear little resemblance to what is actually needed.

Although the law in this area can occasionally be complicated, there’s usually no need to wade into extensive paperwork. While health and safety can at first seem daunting, it should be seen simply as part of good business management, and goes hand in hand with quality assurance and overall efficiency.

Sah Sen aim to help partners understand what the law actually requires and how this can be practically achieved without over-investing time or money. Sah Sen approach health and safety as something that contributes to business success rather than getting in the way.

Ongoing relationships are important to us, so aggressive up-selling and over-specifying work is not in our interest. We’re responsive and honest about what we can do, what we should do, and what needs to be done. Many firms separate their sales effort from delivery, which can result in unrealistic contract terms and either a failure to deliver, escalating costs, or often both. At Sah Sen you only deal with the people who will be doing the work, and who know what can, what can’t, and crucially what needs to be done. Our success depends on doing what we commit to do, on time and on budget.

Our fees don’t subsidize big advertising campaigns, office estates or other corporate costs. Like all businesses we have to consider our bottom-line - but unlike firms with a large troop of waged consultants and back-office workers, our costs only ever need to reflect the work we actually do for a given partner, rather than keeping staff on a retainer and sharing that cost between clients.

Sah Sen Consulting aim to be your expert partner, not just your supplier. Contact us to see how we can help you.

A word on responsibility

We provide the expertise and guide you in the best way to meet your obligations, making it as simple and straightforward as possible - but in UK law every business remains responsible for the health and safety of employees and those affected by it. No service provider can assume this responsibility on behalf of their client.

Using Sah Sen Consulting for your health, safety and fire is the same as using an accountant to help manage your businesses finances. At the end of the day, every business is responsible for its legal duties, just as at the end of each year every company is legally responsible for its own tax payments.

You choose your accountant based on expertise, competency, value, and maybe as a result of a recommendation. Choose Sah Sen Consulting for the same reason.
