UPD (UK) Limited turns its focus to Health and Safety to ensure members are fully compliant

June 2010: UPD (UK) Limited announced today that it has signed a deal with Nash GB to offer its members a comprehensive Health and Safety management programme. Developed exclusively for the UPD Network, the programme will enable successful compliance with current Health and Safety requirements in an increasingly pressured environment.

Nash GB provides specialist services to the Motor and associated industries and, following a series of changes in Health and Safety legislation and ongoing advances in technology, has developed the programme to offer a simple, one-stop-shop incorporating a competitive and flexible pricing structure. The programme, which is benchmarked against HSG 261, includes a web-based management tool, telephone support, legislation updates, safety alerts and site visits for General, Fire and COSHH assessments.

"There is increasing pressure for our members to comply with ever changing health and safety regulations," comments John Virando, Head of Commercial Development for UPD. "Our focus is on ensuring they have access to the solutions they need to operate and develop effectively and health and safety compliance is key for this. With increasing emphasis on it, we want to provide a service that helps them meet requirements as simply as possible and are confident that Nash GB’s programme will enable this."

George Imregi, Managing Director of Nash GB, concludes: "Health and Safety requirements in the motor industry have undergone a series of changes and non-compliance not only puts personnel at risk – it also makes businesses vulnerable to major fines. Health and safety has become a key focus for Nash GB and we are delighted to be working with UPD members to help them reach compliance levels quickly and easily."
