A small, innovative, local company involved in the development and production of energy bill reduction and home security monitoring devices asked HSW Ltd to review H&S requirements and procedures. From this we undertook fire risk assessments, risk assessments for all activities and COSHH assessments. Along with their office administrator Katie Barnard we also implemented Safety Policies and Manuals.

Stallabras Ltd is a shop fitting company, their contractor stopped all their work until their health and safety documentation was up to date. HSW Ltd had the task of producing up to date Risk assessments, Method Statements, Safety Manual and Policy and COSHH sheets in a short space of time to ensure Stallabras Ltd could return to work as quickly as possible. From meeting the client on Tuesday, all this was put in place by the following Monday. The company was allowed back on site to fulfil all its contracts.

Having Separated from University College London, HSW Ltd was appointed by the Institute of Hepatology as their competent person and biological safety officer.
A full safety audit was undertaken and from this audit, documentation updated. This included rules for category III containment facilities for Hep B and Hep C research.
