HOW WE GOT HERE   THE MANAGING DIRECTOR

They say that the biggest oaks can grow from the smallest acorns…well that’s certainly true for Linden Ruskin.  In 1996, she accepted a project from Wiltshire Health Authority to develop a means for its’ 92 surgeries to not only comply quickly and easily with Health & Safety legislation but also keep it up-to-date.

She discovered that the main challenge was in wading through the vast amount of paperwork to find out what really (legally) needed to be done.  The result of her back to basics approach was the Pack – a simple, comprehensive step-by-step tool kit.
Over the years the pack has expanded and now includes over 50 template Policies, forms and tables. All legislation is explained in relation to what is required from Practices and includes Best Practice gleaned from surgeries nationwide.

Linden Ruskin is Chair of the Avon Occupational Safety & Health Group and acts as a Mentor and coach for a variety of business organisations.  She runs regular ‘Getting Your Head Around Health & Safety’ road shows to raise awareness that Health & Safety is not rocket science but can be easily understood and implemented - with a little help.
 

THE TEAM        

Our efficient, friendly administrative staff, trainers, coaches and experts have developed a considerable track-record for removing the huge spectre and burden of Health & Safety from surgeries.  Yet …… they never forget how scary it can be identifying hazards or assessing risks that could save a colleague from serious injury or even death.  Maybe that is the secret of their success: their passion for removing the fear factor and just getting it sorted!
