Call our telephone advice line - it's free !

The London Hazards Centre operates a free telephone advice line for Londoners, which is there to help people at work, at home and in the community with health and safety issues. We are funded to provide Londoners who would can't afford to pay for professional advice and help with this free service. The Centre strives to ensure the advice we give is of a very high standard and is in language that lay people can understand. Because we are grant funded this means we can give information that is free from the influence of business etc.

We try to give honest, health based advice that takes into account current medical opinion and trends in concerns. The Centre has been at the cutting edge on advice on vast ranges of topics that are considered day-to-day now such as repetition strain injury (RSI), sick building syndrome, asbestos, computer based work, chemicals and pesticides at work and in the home, stress and many more.

We are asked for advice on straight forward matters and complex ones. Occasionally people ring about things they think are trivial that turn out to be very serious.

Much of the time the hazards of the issues raised on our advice line can be talked though easily but the larger problem is getting something done about it. While the Centre is not an enforcement agency of any kind we do understand how to approach those with a duty to act and those who are expected enforce if there is no action. The Centre has an understanding of how many different agencies work and can help callers with this.

So if you have a health and safety problem and need some advice - give us a call.
