Management System

Legislation is constantly changing, making it difficult for businesses to maintain legislative compliance. By using us, you will feel confident that you are always complying with legislative requirements and being advised on the best and most cost effective way to maintain a safe place of work. We currently assist clients of all sizes, ranging from small family run businesses to blue chip companies. We provide consultancy designed to meet your needs rather than a generic fit all answer. Our services range from initial "Health Checks" through to statutory general and hazard specific risk assessments and also the design and implementation of Safety Management Systems and policies to OSHA1800/2 standards. We will always support you through tailored Health & Safety management systems with a view to establishing a long- term monitoring, auditing and review service for you. 

Additionally, we can provide workplace Health & Safety signs and first aid equipment together with Health & Safety training courses.

All of our solutions will be designed around your company. Businesses that do not have an effective Health & Safety management system in place generally spend more on dealing with problems that could have been avoided. A good safety management system should comprise of: 

A Health & Safety policy document, including a policy statement with organisational responsibilities and risk control arrangements. The management system should be reviewed and updated annually to reflect changes in legislation and best practice. Templates of registers, inspection forms, training records etc. in electronic and hard copy formats General Health & Safety risk assessments and fire risk assessments carried out by our on- going free e-mail and telephone support through a specific consultant allocated to each client. Annual reviews and updates of the general Health & Safety and Fire Risk Assessments carried out by our consultants. Intermediate visits are programmed to meet the client’s specific needs.

Any timetable for the implementation of a new Health & Safety management system will be determined by the size and nature of your business. The normal sequence of events will be:- 

Stage 1
Information gathering - We would visit the workplace to gather information to carry out a general health, safety and fire risk assessment and to produce a Health & Safety policy specific to the client with comprehensive procedures and record keeping folders.

Stage 2
Implementation - We will deliver the risk assessment reports and the policy and will then provide training in the use of the management system and an overview of the significant findings of the risk assessments. 

Stage 3
Updates - We would automatically update your Health & Safety management system annually to reflect changes in Health & Safety legislation or improvements in guidance or best practice. 

Stage 4
Continuity - Continuity visits will review and update your risk assessments annually to recognise improvements to the management arrangements or changes to the risk profile of the business. Additional visits may be provided where the consultant will carry out a workplace inspection and face to face advice can be given. 

Stage 5
Support - On-Going Support. You will be allocated a consultant to act as the main point of contact to ensure continuity and to offer free telephone or e-mail support.
