JAW Business Solutions

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 00:00:00 +0000

JAW Business Solutions are health & safety consultants for the small to medium size business, and we operate predominately in the Birmingham and Black Country area.

As an employer, you have a legal duty to provide a safe workplace for your employees, so that you do not put their health at risk. This will involve ensuring that plant and machinery are safe. Raw materials and equipment are handled and stored safely. You must provide appropriate information, instruction and training and supervision to ensure safe working practices.
The Corporate Manslaughter Act came into effect in April 2008. Company Directors now face unlimited fines, along with imprisonment if found guilty in court of ‘gross failure’ of their management of health and safety procedures, which results in a death.

The new Health & Safety Offences Bill, soon to become law in 2009, was introduced by former Labour Minister Keith Hill. He said the Bill's aim was to "ensure appropriate punishment for those who are negligent or would seek to cut costs by infringing health and safety arrangements." The Bill will increase the maximum fine available in magistrates' courts from £5000 to £20,000 for most breaches. It would also make a custodial sentence an option for more offences.

The key to avoiding prosecution is simply to ensure that your company is following the relevant health and safety legislation. Everyone is facing tough times in business, but it is simply false economy to be just considering what health and safety will cost you, and ignoring the consequences of what it may ultimately save you.

WeSolveIT Ltd

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0100

Founded in 2001, We Solve IT was born from a leading Midlands Internet Service provider.

Around this time, small to medium businesses were in desperate need of simple but effective IT solutions and support services. As they still are.

We quickly recognised the power of Broadband connections and products like Microsoft Small Business Server, and what this would mean to the way organisations would work in the near future.

With these products now well recognised, it's hard to believe there was so much resistance back then, but with many managers becoming disillusioned with the whole "dot com thing", resistance there was.

In the past few years we have noticed a significant growth in support from our customers with respect to technologies that can push their business forward.

We are in a new era of IT where competition of technology products means only the "useful" tools and systems survive, as well as pushing prices down to a more realistic level.

In this new era there are exciting fresh ways of doing business.

We Solve IT take all this on-board and maintain a focus on what works, rather than what's cool.

We Solve IT are leaders in Desktop Virtulisation, a technique that removes business applications and data from your PC and hosts them instead on our secure, managed internet based servers. These servers can be accesed from anywhere in the world. All you need is an internet connection and away you go, just log in and there is your workspace with all of your applications, just like in the office but without any of the hassle or risks of data loss.
