Health and Safety Compliance Support Through the New Path Group
Any organisation employing five or more people is required by law to have a written health and safety policy and to document the significant findings of any risk assessments. The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 set out the legal framework that applies to virtually all UK employers. Failure to comply can result in unlimited fines, improvement or prohibition notices, reputational damage and - in the most serious cases - imprisonment.
Through the New Path Group, we provide a practical, cost-effective approach to health and safety compliance. We will initially carry out a site visit to assess your current compliance position. Where shortfalls are identified, we provide a clear action plan and the support needed to address them. Subsequent monitoring visits allow you to track progress and demonstrate ongoing commitment to compliance.
A health and safety risk assessment is a systematic examination of your workplace to identify hazards, evaluate the likelihood and severity of harm, and determine what measures are needed to control the risk. It is a legal requirement for all employers, and the findings must be recorded in writing if you employ five or more people. Our assessments are practical and focused - identifying real risks and recommending proportionate, achievable actions rather than generating paperwork for its own sake.
Every employer with five or more employees must have a written health and safety policy. This policy sets out your commitment to health and safety, the organisation and arrangements you have in place to manage it, and the responsibilities of individual staff members. We can draft or review your health and safety policy to ensure it accurately reflects your business and meets legal requirements.
A compliance audit provides an independent, objective assessment of your health and safety performance. Our auditors examine both the physical environment and your documentation - policies, risk assessments, training records, maintenance logs - and identify any gaps against the relevant legal requirements. The audit report sets out a prioritised action plan with clear timescales and lines of responsibility, giving you a practical roadmap to full compliance.

Informed, trained staff are the foundation of effective health and safety management. We offer a range of health and safety training courses to help your team understand their responsibilities and respond correctly in the event of an incident. Courses are available for all levels of staff, from general health and safety awareness through to more specialist training.

A risk assessment identifies specific hazards in your workplace and evaluates the risks they present to your staff and others. A compliance audit takes a broader view - examining your overall health and safety management arrangements, including your documentation, procedures, training records and physical environment - and assessing how well these meet the legal standards that apply to your business. Both are important, and many businesses benefit from carrying out both as part of a structured compliance programme.
