"Some consultants are like the bottom half of a double boiler: they get all heated up but don't know what's cooking." - anon - quotation from an unknown source.

We could have chosen any one of thousands of quotations that poke fun at consultants, or at least an element of them who are well characterised for being full of their own importance whilst the client comes second. This is something we are determined to avoid in our health and safety consultancy services. Our aim as health and safety consultants is to provide you with health and safety solutions that help your business, not just solutions that make life easier for a consultant.

We believe that health and safety at your business is about you and those around you. The solutions we advise will be tailored to you, your colleagues and people who come into contact with your business.

Ultimately, health and safety is not just about the workplace, although that is where the legislative requirements normally apply to businesses. Workers who are educated and encouraged to adopt principles of health and safety in their lives outside work will generally be fitter, healthier and then more efficient at work.

Additionally, there are links between the prosperity of people and their general health and well-being. This suggests that the commercial success of a business could be a health and safety consideration for the employees of that business. This means that whilst commercial pressures should never overide proper application of reasonable health and safety policy, it is important for the proper application of health and safety to optimise commercial success where possible.

Health and Safety Consultancy helping your business - a boost not a hindrance.

The proper application of health and safety could boost the commercial success of your business and not be a hindrance to it. How is this possible when many people regard health and safety as an obstacle? The proper application of appropriate health and safety can be motivational to a work force, and can help promote a "can do" attitude, where health and safety is simply an integral part of the job.

This is all about developing the ethos of the business to be health and safety orientated. This is empowering to employees because it is clear to them that they have some power and that under this health and safety regime all people are treated equally. It is about fostering a team approach to health and safety where every member of the team is important as a worker and an unofficial safety adviser looking after the health and safety interests of colleagues and others.

Lucid's expert health and safety practitioners can help you to establish the culture and behaviour to ensure your workplace is a safer, healthier and happier place to be.

Cost benefit analysis fopr health and safety traing and consultancy services

In the short term there is a cost to health and safety training for employees, but longer term we really believe appropriate health and safety training will have significant benefits. Even in the shorter term the ethos of team work in a shared goal to work safely and for long-term health, can play a significant part in helping to develop a dynamic and inspired team spirit. A team spirit focussed on working well together, understanding that health and safety can be a common denominator bringing people together with a shared interest no matter what their department or role within the business.

Health and safety can work for you and not against you when you get the right health and safety training, advice and support through Lucid health and safety consultancy.
