In these times of austerity when there is a global slowdown it can sometimes appear that Government agencies are just a nuisance to cause you grief and expense!
We have over the recent past had the pleasure of the HMRC, HSE & Environment agency and found them to be helpful , understanding and willing to work together for the benefit of all concerned. They can be a very useful source of knowledgeable advice and are not to be feared but embraced.
Tax is never a nice subject but in a modern society, is something that has to be paid to maintain and support a developed community with social and healthcare.
Health & Safety is to protect one of your most valuable assets, your workforce. Who would not want to do this? With the HSE’s vast knowledge they can provide valuable advice on compliance and best practice with a wealth of publications to help, if all else fails you can speak to your local officer, we did!
On a recent Environment Agency snap inspection an Officer questioned if we knew he was coming! No body is perfect, but we try to do the right thing and take our responsibilities seriously and were pleased to receive a letter stating “your environmental management, specifically waste management, is of a very high standard and a credit to both the commitment of your staff and the company” there were a couple of helpful comments to guide us and who knows we may even look to ISO14001
