As professional Health and Safety consultants, DBC Solutions act on your behalf, assuming the role of your ‘competent person’ as required by law.

Arrangements for Health & Safety
Health and safety arrangements are an important part of managing all aspects of safety to reduce risks within the workplace.
DBC can assist with writing policies and procedures for any that are applicable to your company to reduce the risks involved.
Risk Assessments
As an employer you are under a statutory duty to arrange for a ‘competent person’ to assess all possible risks to ensure that you are fully compliant with your statutory duty.
DBC will carry out assessments on your behalf and regularly review the assessments to ensure they remain valid.
Health and Safety Policy
If you are a business with five or more employees you are obliged to have a written health and safety policy. For smaller organisations, there is an increasing requirement by clients to produce a statement of intent for health and safety, to demonstrate safe operation.
DBC will work closely with your team to create a tailored and regularly updated H&S policy for your organisation.
Health and Safety Inspections
It is essential that inspections are undertaken to ensure that potential hazards are controlled and that staff and others stay safe.
DBC will carry out thorough workplace inspections on your behalf, accidents and near-miss investigations and give practical advice on achieving compliance. Where necessary we can provide approved workplace health and safety training.

Your Questions on Health & Safety
The law states that every business with five or more employees is obliged to have a written health and safety policy, which must be reviewed and updated on a regular basis.
For smaller organisations, there is an increasing requirement by clients or prospective clients to produce a statement of intent for health and safety, to demonstrate safe operation.
A well constructed policy sets health and safety in context with the other business objectives, making a commitment to continuous improvement in performance.
The document should identify key responsibilities and general arrangements for safety within the organisation, supplemented with detailed arrangements, as appropriate..
A method statement details the possible dangers/risks associated with a project and the methods of control to be established, to ensure safely.
It’s a vital element for H&S management. Its main objective is to determine the measures required to comply with statutory duty, reduce accidents and keeps staff safe.
