Recently, I worked with an independent Tyre Services company to meet employment law regulations by creating a Written Statement of Employment Particulars, a Staff Handbook, and updating the Health and Safety Manual. They were all relevant, current, and in accordance with current employment law in order to add value to the business and form part of the HR strategy. Along with this, documents relating to Portable Appliance Testing, Fire Risk Assessment, Risk Assessments, documented Training Records, and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) were created, as well as compliance support and assistance to benefit the business, reducing risks by facilitating a better working environment and increasing employee productivity.
