There are many myths & exaggerations about health & safety - children can't go on school trips or play conkers; you can't use ladders at work - it's no wonder that businesses are put off.
The examples above aren't about real health & safety as required by law, they're about risk aversion. Sensible health & safety isn't about avoiding risk, it's about managing it. We all take risks everyday - getting out of bed, crossing the road. It doesn't stop us getting on with life; we learn what the risks are & how to manage them.
Kate at Sah Sen Consulting isn't risk averse - parachute jumping and riding a motorbike demonstrate that! Kate takes a common sense approach to health, safety and fire. Kate will provide practical advice & help. You won't be buried under a mountain of paperwork or be confused with jargon. Whether you want help with writing you're policy, doing your risk assessments or training, Kate can help you.
