HSE Passport, the simple and cost effective health and safety compliance scheme (for contract and temporary workers) has teamed up with a leading UK freelance insurance provider, Caunce O'Hara to offer the passport scheme as an optional service when a contractor purchases professional indemnity insurance.
Caunce O'Hara provide a number of insurance products to SMEs, making it the perfect partner for HSE Passport.
Guy Schrecker, General Manager, HSE Passport said: "Compliance doesn't need to difficult, time consuming or expensive, once HSE Passport is purchased, freelancers go through a simple and hassle free process to obtain their health and safety passport, enabling them to present a validated ID card on every job they are assigned to."
He went on to say "We are delighted to announce our new partnership with Caunce O'Hara and look forward to helping clients become compliant with current health and safety legislation, complimenting their legal compliance cover."
HSE Passport for contractors, freelancers and temporary workers.
HSE Passport can help businesses avoid accidents that can lead to heavy fines (should an agency worker be injured in the work place) and could create cost savings by ensuring that agency workers and temporary assigned staff have at least a basic level of health and safety training prior to arriving on site.
The passport scheme can also prevent delays in the commencement of an assignment or workplace project.
For a host company, after a contractor has been appraised of any site specific issues, they are free to begin their assignment immediately, thus eliminating the need to give training whilst paying the agency for non-productive time.
As an employer, umbrella organisations must take responsibility for basic health and safety training. This can not only delay the start of the assignment but can also be extremely costly, HSE Passport can simplify the process which could show a significant saving in administrative costs.
