 Site Map Home Page– we recognise that Health and Safety (H&S) is NOT a fascinating subject to most directors. It is a function that has to be fulfilled efficiently and effectively. But you do not want an anorak talking to you for hours on the subject. So we simply tell you what needs to be done and how best to do it. In as few words as possible. Home Page About Us– BPP was previously part of JICS - a well established, Essex based management consultancy set up in 1989.

Additional BPP Services Penalties– This is quite straightforward – they only imprison directors! That may sound harsh but that is the truth. The tasks of looking after health and safety may be (and often are) pushed down to middle or junior management level. But the responsibility stays at director level. And ignorance is absolutely no defence. The penalties for not adhering to these legal responsibilities can be draconian: Penalties Disability Discrimination Act (DAA)– The 1995 Disability Discrimination Act outlines employer responsibilities for disabled employees. This has been further expanded in the 2005 Act. Disability Discrimination Act (DAA) Specialist Divisions– We have a number of specialist divisions. These Include Construction, Golf and Property Management Divisions. Specialist Divisions Construction– 2.2 million people work in Britain’s construction industry, making it the country’s biggest industry. It is also one of the most dangerous. In the last 25 years, over 2,800 people have died from injuries they received as a result of construction work. Many more have been injured or made ill. Between April 2004 and March 2005, 71 workers died and thousands were injured as a result of construction work.
