VIDEO: Environmental Risk Assessments with Insectram

VIDEO

Let’s face it, environmental risk assessments (ERAs) aren’t exactly the highlight of a pest controller’s day. But they’re absolutely essential for compliance, protecting wildlife, and keeping your business reputation intact.

In this session, Craig Peniket from Insectram breaks down ERAs, why they matter, and how to make them quicker and easier with the help of smart software.

  • You’ll learn:
  • What ERAs are and why they’re a legal requirement in the UK
  • When you need to complete them (and when you don’t)
  • Common mistakes pest professionals make with ERAs
  • How to ensure your ERA stands up in court
  • How Insectram's integrated ERA system saves time and improves compliance.

Whether you’re a sole trader or run a larger pest control business, this video will help you stay compliant, protect your clients, and streamline your processes.
