Development of a robust Health and Safety programme is essential for any Insurer to accept a business as being legally compliant.

Cronin Insurance collaborates with Direct Safety Solutions Ltd whom offer qualified professional advice to form a tripartite service with our clientele.

A good risk control programme can be the deciding factor that leads to an undecided Insurer to provide terms on a business that may not be within current market appetite.

• Contract sites and the commercial kitchen can be a hazardous place with potential for slips and trips, contact with hot surfaces, gas and electricity to name but a few. Catering equipment installers and engineers face all these hazards along with their own such as manual handling, working at height etc.
• It’s vital that health & safety is considered right from the start. Designers should be trained in design risk assessments so that any issues with install, use and ongoing maintenance of catering equipment is made as safe as practical. Surveyors must also play their part identifying any potential hazards ahead of the delivery and install.
• Then it’s the engineers, again a robust training program is vital along with tools to ensure they are empowered and responsible for carrying out on site dynamic risk assessments as each job presents different challenges.
• We have worked with a number of catering equipment Businesses and helped in key areas such as;
  • – Carrying out detailed health & safety compliance audits.
  • – Producing health & safety policies and management systems.
  • – Producing risk assessments and method statements.
  • – Training and coaching.
  • – Assisting with nationally recognised health & safety accreditations such as CHAS, SMAS, SafeContractor etc.
  • – Carrying out on site health & safety and vehicle audits with Engineers.
