The BPIF Health & Safety Healthcheck is a quick, easy review of your current processes that gives you a clear work-to list of actions to improve where gaps have been identified. This year (from April 2019) the average score for print companies is 66%, where would you be in comparison and how would you stand up with legal requirements? 

If you answer NO to any of the following questions, then consideration should be given to the health & safety compliance within your business.

“Following a Health and Safety Healthcheck, a plan was devised to implement a programme. With the BPIF’s H&S Adviser’s knowledge and understanding of the print trade, he offered practical, succinct advice and then delivered it companywide. The adviser was approachable and always attempted to cajole our staff along the road in an agreed manner rather than a threatening way with an excellent manner and sense of humour.” Andy Galloway, Managing Director at Galloways on the BPIF Health and Safety Management Scheme.
