Are you finding Health & Safety management difficult?
If you're running a veterinary clinic, you have a range of legal duties. This includes keeping both your employees and members of the public safe at all times. To do so, you must identify any Health & Safety hazards present within your veterinary practice. These might include:
Workplace exposure to hazardous substances.
Hazardous waste.
Mismanaged fire safety.
Infection control.
Incorrect storage of veterinary medicine.
Incorrect animal handling.
As part of your obligations for Health & Safety, you must follow the relevant health regulations. Such as the:
Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981.
Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations.
Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992.
But with your staff focusing on providing the best possible care to animals, sometimes their safety awareness may slip down their list of priorities. This can especially be the case if you don't employ a Health & Safety representative.
And without the knowledge, experience, or correct training to uphold Health & Safety protocols, how can you be sure your veterinary facilities are compliant?
Work with Peninsula and we’ll handle your Health & Safety management. We’ll uphold your legal obligations, freeing up your time so you can spend it giving amazing care to animals.

Meet your legal obligations with Peninsula's documentation service
Under current safety law, UK employers are required to provide their employees with certain pieces of documentation, such as:
Details of staff Health & Safety training (including refresher training).
However, creating a new written safety policy can take both time and training to make sure it protects workers and stays compliant. And this can be difficult to manage when running a veterinary practice.
Outsourcing your Health & Safety management to Peninsula means you’ll have access to our documentation service. We'll draft and review all your required documentation. Our experts will also help to uphold procedures to protect both your employees and customers.
So whilst you spend your time caring for animals, we'll spend time managing your Health & Safety.

Fully manage risks with Peninsula's risk assessment service
You have a legal requirement to keep both your employees and customers safe at all times. One way to do this is to implement measures to control risk. To fully establish safety procedures, employers must conduct a risk assessment.
Risk assessments are a legal requirement in the UK, and are key in spotting and controlling workplace hazards. For example, you might use personal protective equipment (PPE) to avoid exposure to chemicals. But if it's your first time performing a risk assessment, you may not know where to start.
That's why many veterinary practices choose to outsource their Health & Safety management to Peninsula.
When you work with us, one of our qualified Health & Safety consultants will come to your practice and conduct your risk assessment. Providing you with a unique action plan, including implementable actions, so you're always controlling workplace risks.
Our service doesn't end there, we'll even perform your fire risk assessment too. So you can relax knowing you're doing everything possible to keep your employees safe.
