Competent & Affordable Safety Management Assistance
Competent Safety Advice
Competent Safety Advice
All companies must have access to competent safety advice by law. To meet this need, our Chartered Safety and
Health Practitioner can:
- Advise you on your policies and procedures in order to keep you up-to-date with legislations and best practices relevant to your business
Policy and System Review
Without charge or obligation, we will visit your site and assess the systems that you have in place.
Our short compliance audit will determine whether your systems and policies are sufficient for your activities or if there are areas that need to be improved.
If your systems currently fall short of compliance, then we can help you to improve them quickly, effectively and at a cost that your business can afford.
- Complete workplace inspections
Workplace Inspections
To measure and improve your company’s performance in health and safety management, we recommend that workplace inspections are carried out regularly.
This involves a walk around your site observing infrastructure, staff practices and the overall safety culture of the business. Workplace inspections provide valuable information that can help you identify and prioritise areas that need attention.
- Assist with risk assessments
Risk Assessments
Identifying hazards, assessing the risks and ensuring that sensible controls are in place are all fundamental requirements of any health and safety management system.
When you have worked on a site for even a few months, you become blinkered and you often cannot see potential dangers that to fresh eyes are obvious. On the other hand, you can waste time assessing trivial hazards that do not offer significant risk to employees or visitors.
We can inspect your workplace, observe your activities and identify the significant hazards. We can then assess the risks and current controls to ensure that your employees and visitors are safe. We can advise on additional controls if they are necessary.
- Investigate accidents
Incident Investigation
Investigating accidents, incidents, dangerous occurrences and near misses is a duty in law that enables you to identify the root cause and other contributing factors that resulted, or could have resulted in harm.
A prompt and effective investigation, if acted on, can reduce further harm, prevent or limit liability for litigation, fines and loss of reputation. GM Safety is here to help you keep all these at bay.
- Assist with the implementation of your systems, consulting with and training your staff, installing signage, arranging firefighting equipment, conducting emergency evacuation drills and much, much more
Staff Training and Consultation
The best health and safety management systems are useless unless your employees understand them, feel involved and are complying with your policies. Training and raising awareness of your safety policies, manual handling techniques and other key topics is an effective way of demonstrating your commitment to protecting your employees’ health and welfare.
We can offer IOSH-accredited courses or bespoke courses entirely relevant to your workplace and activities.
Topics Covered in Our Training Sessions:
- Safe Work Equipment Usage
- Hazardous Substances
- Manual Handling - Information, Instruction, Training, Supervision
- Accidents and First Aid
- Work-Related Ill-Health
- Health and Safety Performance
- Lone Working
- Emergency Procedures
- Fire and Evacuation
- Working with COVID-19 restrictions
If you want to become compliant with the law or if you just want to review and improve your systems, call us and we can help.
