Health & Safety in Norfolk
Health and safety support for Norfolk employers — written for the sectors this county actually runs on.
Norfolk's risk profile is not an office risk profile
Agriculture is consistently among the most dangerous sectors in the UK by fatal injury rate, and Norfolk is one of England's most agricultural counties. Add food processing and its machinery, cold stores and shift patterns; construction; the offshore and energy support work running out of Great Yarmouth; and a hospitality sector full of kitchens, young staff and high turnover.
Generic health and safety templates are written for offices. They do not survive contact with a grain store, a production line or a commercial kitchen in August, and they do not help you if something happens.
What we do
Risk assessments that reflect the work as it is actually done, not as the template imagines it. Policies and procedures written to match. Accident reporting and RIDDOR. Training for managers and staff, including the practical parts people skip.
We also join it up with the HR side, because most of what goes wrong at work is a people problem before it is a safety problem: a shortcut taken under pressure, a new starter nobody inducted properly, a shift pattern that leaves people tired.
Common questions
- Do you come on site?
- Yes — risk assessments are done on site. Anything else would be guesswork.
- Do you cover Suffolk too?
- Yes. We work across Norfolk and into Suffolk from the Norwich office.
- Can you help with training as well as paperwork?
- Yes. Policies nobody has been trained on tend not to change behaviour, so the two go together.
