This week I've appointed a H&S advisor for the needs of my two companies. Anyone else done the same? What experiences have you had?

Thanks in advance.

He comes with many years experience and is doing it dirt cheap because he wants this under his belt. I think the solar cleaning excites him because NONE of his peers are doing it. It suits me and he wants the kudos. It's a good trade off.

Why don't you clean his windows - that way do it for free and he doesn't invoice you. Let's face it there's not much to do over a year is there for someone in this line of work.

Steve, have you thought of a "Director of Communications" for both of your companies, to post on your behalf?
This may help you to relate to the one man band window lickers on here?

Personally, I would have started with a tea lady and worked up from there.

Yes i have got one i employ him full time just in case of any problems that may ensue, he is worth his weight in gold though for example one of the window cleaners left a banana skin in the yard the other day and i nearly slipped on it, thankfully my h and s officer spotted the danger before it was too late. I could have slipped broken an ankle and had a lengthy stay in hospital! I pay him 35k pa which some may think is a lot but for me it is money well spent.

Peace of mind eh?

All of this has been very insightful...

Slammed for self-promoting, slammed for asking a sensible, but what seems 'high-end' question that many of you cannot fathom.  Pity is my overwhelming emotion.

We have.

Sounds more like contempt than pity, Steve.

i can do all my H&S stuff on my own. just a little bit rusty when doing it now.

Come the freezing winter all the wfp window cleaners h&s advisers well be telling them to put there pouches back on and fill them with rock salt, because there is a risk of slipping. If you run a business with x amount of staff who are potentially a liability then your h & s advisor could tell you to outsource a training company to cover your and his back as anything that he doesn't cover could come back to haunt him. An advisor can't install common sense into your staff.
