Business groups and advice

Get new employees off to a green start with SITA UK:
Get any new employees off to a green start by stressing your company’s concern for the environment. Why not suggest some corporate “eco-essentials”, as soon as they join? These could include:

- Only print out emails and documents where absolutely necessary
- Don’t print in colour unless essential to the understanding of information
- Print on both sides of the paper
- Put electronic equipment onto stand by, when not in immediate use
- Pull blinds back to maximise natural light and reduce electricity consumption.

Health and Safety Advice from South Glos Council
Health and safety should not be scary or complicated. There are lots of self-help kits and documents available, and you can seek help from your health and safety team at South Glos Council.
Every business needs someone who is competent in health and safety, a safety policy, a risk assessment, trained and informed staff, and premises need to meet basic workplace standards.
Businesses that are safe tend to be much more successful and their staff feel much more valued and secure.
For free advice, please contact South Gloucestershire Health and Safety Team on 01454 868001, or click below.
