Health & Safety Checklist

To fully understand your business we just need 10 minutes of your time to complete a Health & Safety checklist. We can then assess your requirements, so you can ensure that you are fully compliant in 6 easy steps.

›Health and Safety Checklist

Online Safety Services use the Health and Safety Checklist to check the level of your Health and Safety compliance. This information is taken and then used to see whether you, or your company, have got the right level of protection or if there is room to improve.

Accurate information is necessary even if you are aware the information supplied may potentially be below required standards.

Once the checklist is completed, we ask that you fill in the declaration certifying that all information is correct. Incorrect information will render the form null and void and Online Safety Services (Europe) Limited will not accept responsibility for services offered should this be the case.
