By the Workplace Safety Group teamQuick answer: WSG gives small and growing businesses a competent person to call for health and safety advice, so you can name WSG as your appointed health and safety advisers. It comes with SafeGuard Pro (£1,895 +VAT a year) and SafeGuard Pro Max (£2,395 +VAT a year). Both include your health and safety paperwork produced for you and PQS accreditation at SSIP level, with the membership fee paid.
Peace of mind about health and safety
You're good at the job, not the paperwork. When a client asks who your competent person is, or a tricky situation comes up on site, you want a straight answer from someone who knows. That's what you get: plain English, no jargon, and a fixed annual price, so there are no surprise invoices.
What you get
- A competent person on call: advice by phone and email when you need it. You can name WSG as your appointed health and safety advisers.
- Your paperwork produced for you: policies, risk assessments and other documents written for your business and loaded into SafeGuard.
- Accreditation sorted: PQS accreditation at SSIP level with the membership fee paid, plus support with the other schemes your clients ask for.
- Everything kept in date: SafeGuard gives you RAMS in under 10 minutes, 95% done on the first go, and holds your RAMS, COSHH assessments, training matrix, policies and certificates, and reminds you before anything expires. Staff can sign documents on their phones.
