Every organisation is required by law to have a 'Competent Person.' This is someone with the necessary knowledge, expertise and experience to effectively manage health and safety. For some organisations it isn't necessary or practical to hire a full time health and safety person. This is where we come in.
Adopting a safety management system can help your company become more efficient, retain staff, save money and grow in both stature and reputation. Each management system is based on the "plan-do-check-act" management model and embodies the principle of continual improvement as exemplified in the British Standard for quality assurance systems.
General risk assessments are required by law - Management of Health and Safety at Work (Amendment) Regulations 2006. A risk assessment is the process of identifying what hazards currently exist or may appear in the workplace. A risk assessment defines which workplace hazards are likely to cause harm to employees and others and the control measures that are required to reduce those risks to as low as reasonably practicable.
SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) is the mutual recognition scheme for occupational health and safety standards in the UK. There are a number of safety schemes across the UK construction industry, so it's important to make sure any accreditation you undertake is a SSIP member. SSIP aims to reduce health and safety assessment costs and bureaucracy for the whole supply chain across the construction industry.
