RISK ASSESSMENT & ANALYSIS
Risk assessment plays a pivotal role in ensuring the health and safety of your employees and contractors, the public, and external stakeholders. Risk assessment is a legal requirement with 4 or more employees and is a vital tool for ensuring anyone affected by your undertaking know that you are a responsible employer who values health and safety and will minimise risks. This can be done by attending on site, highlight the hazards and identify risks and produce a report of significant findings with practical advice on how to make your business a safer working environment. We help make your risk assessment simple and stress free.
Hazard Awareness
It’s often difficult to spot hazards in your own business when you are so familiar with your workplace and your people day to day. The wellbeing of your people will depend on the awareness of both existing hazards and future hazards. Hazard awareness should be ongoing and a proactive state of mind for all your employees. We provide a hazard awareness assessment & report and can train your team to improve awareness, control, and elimination of hazards. Maintaining great hazard awareness will help to reduce the risk of accidents in your business.
Work Place Wellbeing
Workplaces have a significant impact on people’s health and well-being. Poor management of workplace wellbeing may lead to high levels of sickness absence or unhappy employees who don’t perform at their best. This can cost your business money but also affect performance and service delivery. We use the Health & Safety Index and were an early UK adopter of this leading online assessment tool to help you to constantly monitor workplace wellbeing and be able to make changes to ensure the wellbeing of all your employees.
Employee Engagement
Employee engagement is about ensuring that employees are fulfilled in their role and feel valued. Research shows that engaged employees put more energy into their work and are happier and more fulfilled. The benefits to your business of an engaged workforce are better productivity, reduced absence, and improved innovation. Changes in engagement are often dynamic, meaning you should be tracking engagement in real time. Using the Health & Safety Index, we’ll help you understand the relationship between health, safety and employee engagement and help you to measure, focus and act on improvements fast!
SSIP Accreditation Support
Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) reduces duplication and the need for suppliers to have multiple certifications to different schemes. SSiP saves time, effort, and cost of multiple certifications. We support businesses like yours to gain recognised accreditations, but without the need to duplicate information and paperwork. We’ll support you with the online application and be your advisor and go to person throughout the whole process. Reducing your time, paperwork and stress in achieving the certifications you need.
SAFETY CULTURE IMPROVEMENTS
Ensuring you have a ‘safety culture’ in your business can be critical to avoid accidents, minimise risks and maximise productivity. But a safety culture needs to be embedded in the minds and behaviours of your workforce. This isn’t easy to do as people involved in the day to day of the business can often become complacent or blind to risks. We can support you in recommending and implementing safety culture improvements. We take a holistic approach to creating and improving a safety culture in businesses by looking at communication, training, reporting, leadership, and action planning.
Health and Safety Policies
Every business is required by law to have a policy for managing health & safety. If you have five or more employees, the policy must be in writing, and you should regularly share the policy and any changes with employees. Writing a comprehensive, compliant health & safety policy with all the relevant sections can be time consuming and tough to do. We provide all the documentation you need to ensure that your business is compliant with Health and Safety Legislation. We can write or update your health and safety policy as well as advising on how to utilise it. It’ll not only meet HSE standards but also put your mind and your employees minds at rest.
Health and Safety Procedures
Writing a health & safety policy is only the first step in being compliant and ensuring the wellbeing and safety of your employees. What’s even more important is that all employees are aware of how to put the policy into practice day to day and their own responsibilities. This is done by having a comprehensive set of health & safety procedures to ensure your employees have clear guidance and are supported in implementing your health and safety policy. We can write procedures for your company that are not seen as a burden but are seen as a vital and useful tool to ensure your team can do their jobs and are safe and compliant at all times.
Health and Safety Arrangements
The health & safety arrangements section will form part of your health and safety policy. It details what you will do in practice to achieve your health & safety aims. It will include how your will reduce or eliminate risks and hazards. We’ll advise and write your arrangements section to ensure that they not only meet the needs of legislation but your business as well. They’ll be easy to read and understandable by your employees.
