Cardinus, (a THB Group plc member company) - providers of online injury reduction solutions and risk management within the safety, fleet, insurance and property sectors, today launched a dedicated ecommerce website, for health and safety solutions, aimed specifically at the SME marketplace in the UK.
The website which can be viewed at www.sme.cardinus.com was devised in response to growing demand from smaller firms who require a cost-effective risk management solution to ensure they comply with all current and draft government health and safety legislation.
www.sme.cardinus.com is a secure online portal for companies with up to 250 employees. The principle is smart and clear, where subscribers can purchase credits and gain access to a library suite of resources and e-learning tools that cover a myriad of risk assessment tools – all supported by Cardinus’ PACE software program which acts as a database and workflow management tool.
Jon Abbott, Managing Director, Cardinus explained: “Our new ecommerce offering is going to have a huge impact on the risk management service marketplace. We will be opening up our established list of courses to SMEs which are proven to reduce injuries, reduce costs and assist with compliance”.
To support the launch and ongoing promotion, Cardinus has also signed an exclusive arrangement with the Forum for Private Business (FPB) where they will be provided with a branded version of the site which 25,000 UK members can access.
“Complying with health and safety legislation is a costly, time-consuming exercise. Our research has shown that small business owners spend, on average, 14 hours per month filling-in forms specifically relating to health and safety,” said the FPB’s Chief Executive, Phil Orford. “Along with the FPB’s Health and Safety Guide, smaller employers now have online access to an online training and distance learning resource, providing them with the support they need to protect staff yet control costs – more important than ever in the current economic climate.”
