HSE Press Release: E053:04 - 20 April 2004

Companies warned to bin mailshot from fake 'Health and Safety' agencies

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) today urged companies and other organisations to ignore information they receive from three firms purporting to regulate health and safety legislation.

HSE has received hundreds of complaints from companies across the country that have been sent requests for payment in return for compliance with health and safety law.

The three firms, all based in north-west England, have written to companies all over Great Britain asking for between £125 and £249 to ensure they comply with health and safety law.

Is this the one where they try to sell you a pack containing a load of stuff you are supposed to need and some you can get free from HSE direct?

Got it in one David.

Here's an excerpt from further down the article . . .

1. More information on The Health and Safety Starter Pack: Health and Safety Advice and Guidance for New and Small Businesses can be found on HSE’s website: http://www.hse.gov.uk/startup/content/starterpack.htm

The pack from HSE is £30 and some of it's contents you can get free from them, and also the Fed, I think.

While you're on, can I interest you in my patented "SleeveWare Tester" (TM) which is an innovative little handheld device whereby you key in the purchase date and type of applicator sleeve you use, the type of work you have, and also how many hours per day you work. It carries out extensive calculations and, almost immediately, it provides you with the date you should be ordering your new sleeve.

Of course, these results can be slightly skewed if you're a lazy so-and-so, and a six month tolerance is accepted by the Stealth and Hasty Inpectorate if they ever descend upon you.

A bargain at only £79.95 plus vat for the single-user software licence plus p+p costs of £95.79

I've been told that you can get a handheld computer device on e-Bay for £3.50 if you're quick.
