Health & Safety
Effective management of occupational health and industrial safety issues is a key business priority. A proactive stance towards such risks can achieve real business benefit through less down time caused by accidents in the workplace, delivering a reduced risk profile, and thereby enhancing stakeholder involvement. With legislative requirements becoming more onerous, it makes sound business sense to adopt a proactive approach that creates sustainable business advantage.
We work with you to customize your Health and Safety approach in line with your needs and objectives. Our comprehensive range of services includes:
- Hazard Identification
- Compliance Auditing & Benchmarking
- Exposure & Risk Assessment
- Hazard & Risk Communication
- Safety & Protection
- Training
Organizations must not only understand the effectiveness of their risk control programs, but also be
aware of developing trends and future legislative and stakeholder requirements. Legislative tracking, management audits and assessments, coupled where appropriate with long-term epidemiological
studies can all assist this understanding. Companies may then choose to develop, implement and maintain business-focused Health and Safety management systems to OHSAS 18001:2007 standards.
HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Recognition of hazards within an organization is fundamental to their effective evaluation and management. Expert consultants are needed to identify hazards in the workplace, manage and conduct sampling and exposure assessments, and provide accredited analytical results.
COMPLIANCE AUDITING AND BENCHMARKING
Auditing, when conducted by qualified professionals, provides a clear picture of legal compliance and associated liability within a facility or across an organization. Audit findings can be used to demonstrate performance, evaluate risk exposure or may form the basis for the development of a systematic approach to health and safety management.
RISK ASSESSMENT
Where hazards are already known or have been identified, their effective and realistic evaluation is required. Risk assessment products include a full range of reporting types from single-issue facility-focused products (such as safety risk assessments) through to complex epidemiological and toxicological studies.
HAZARD AND RISK COMMUNICATION
Knowledge of hazards and an understanding of risks need to be effectively communicated to stakeholders. A wide range of communication tools and packages are available to get the message across; whether for a board-level briefing or a shop floor “toolbox talk.”
SAFETY AND PROTECTION
The development of risk control measures and their subsequent implementation is a key area within all organizations. Practical, commercially aware expertise in the field of control measure development, provision and implementation is necessary, as is on-site support and management to deliver these across a range of industrial and commercial applications.
TRAINING
In many cases, focused training is provided to reinforce new approaches or refresh current practices. This can be delivered directly or provided via on-line facilities which can track understanding and completion of key training topics, providing additional reassurance.
