At Mason Hardy we know that a well aligned and appropriate prioritised focus on Health and Safety is a critical part of any effective sustainability strategy. The wellbeing of employees and others with whom an organisation comes into contact should be one of the cornerstones of any organisation's commitments and behaviours. We also know that the long track record of the Health and Safety profession contains much to inform current thinking around the sustainability agenda, particularly where there is a need to convert a strategic ambition into a set of changed behaviours.

This focus is why Mason Hardy is delighted to have been included in the new register of approved Occupational Safety and Health Consultants. The register was set up after the UK Government accepted Lord Young's autumn 2010 report ‘Common Sense, Common Safety' which recommended that all approved consultants should be accredited to professional bodies and a web-based directory of accredited consultants should be established.

All consultants who join the register are bound by their professional body/bodies code of conduct and are committed to providing sound, pragmatic and proportionate advice. These consultants have had their qualifications and experience assessed by their professional body. The aim of the register is to support those employers who are looking to engage Health and Safety consultants, by providing a register of consultants who met the required criteria.
