Posted By Jez Corfield Dear Colleagues, I am after some information to back up my claims for extra staff. I have already done a whole load of 'quality' research, but I need 'quantity' info, so please, could you let me know, for your organisation: how many staff, how many sites, how many H&S bods and nature of work? Many thanks in advance. Jez Corfield

Posted By Nigel Hammond We have 1400 staff, 500 clients (people with learning disabilities) and about 120 homes and schools. Number of H&S Advisers = 1 (Me!). Can I suggest you specify the industry your in - to get more appropriate answers.

Posted By Bill Elliott Agree with Nigel. It will also depend on what you cover. I manage a team of five, 2 and bit H&S advisers, 1 and a bit fire safety advisers and a half time admin bod. We cover H&S, Fire, Food safety, security, emergency planning over 250 premises with 3000+ staff and an equal number of clients. I would have to admit that we are unable to cover half of what we should be doing and are therefore not as proactive as we should be.

Posted By Merv Newman There was a thread on this a week or two back. I suggested, for an industrial site, not involving contact with non employees (except contractors) that a ratio of about 1 competent HSE person to 500 employees seems to work. For less than 500 you still need one person or access to the necessary competence.
