February 2025 Newsletter - Navigating Health & Safety with Confidence

This month’s newsletter from SVC Safety dives into the latest health and safety compliance updates and practical guidance to help businesses stay legally aligned and operationally safe.

• H&S Compliance Audits: SVC offers a comprehensive on-site and off-site audit package to identify risks and ensure your health and safety procedures are up to scratch. Perfect for businesses unsure where to begin, this service includes a full site review, detailed action plan, and expert recommendations.

• Martyn’s Law (Terrorism Protection of Premises Bill): With the UK threat level currently “substantial,” the proposed legislation introduces new security requirements for venues, designed to minimise the impact of potential terrorist attacks. The bill highlights the need for businesses to plan, prepare, and protect attendees.

• HAVS Guidance: A clear breakdown of Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome, its causes, early warning signs, and how to control risks associated with vibration exposure in the workplace.

• Legionella Awareness: Vital insights into Legionnaires’ disease, its sources, symptoms, and employer responsibilities under COSHH regulations. A must-read for those managing water systems or facilities.

• Biological Agents: A reminder of employers' duties under COSHH to manage risks from harmful microorganisms including viruses, bacteria, and fungi — with tips on hygiene, safe working practices, and reporting responsibilities.

SVC Safety continues to provide sensible, personal, and organised health and safety solutions — offering not just compliance support, but peace of mind. Whether you're looking for one-off support or an ongoing partnership, their practical approach and personal service set them apart.
