Health and Safety Consultancy
If you need help with putting together any element of your Health and Safety system, we're here to help.
The PERFORM Health and Safety Service is our full consultancy arrangement in which we become your Legally-required Competent Person for the length of the contract.
We will ensure that you are complying with health and safety law, and in particular your own Directors responsibilities – which if you're not discharging could lead to fines, or in the worst case imprisonment.
Why PERFORM?
PERFORM is our acronym for the steps we take you through in setting up a basic Health and Safety Management System:
-
POLICY
Sets the tone, legitimises actions and is a valuable communication tool.
-
EVALUATE
Enables you to find out what the risks are and what you'll need to begin to tackle them.
-
RESOURCES
The stage where you put the resources in place (e.g. staff training, equipment etc.)
-
FOCUS
You set basic targets for the safety standards you demand.
-
OPERATE
Use the above resources to get started using new methods where necessary, while monitoring and supervising progress.
-
REVIEW
This is where your Management Team decide how well it's going.
-
MODIFY
Changes are made as necessary to ensure continual improvement.
Benefits of our system:
By basing all your efforts using the steps outlined above, you will be sure that you'll be using a logical, structured system for compliance with both legislation and best practice. Actions will be consistent and so can be easily explained to other stakeholders e.g. employees, contractors, customers etc.
The system helps you to prioritise the planning, organisation, control, monitoring and review of measures to protect people from workplace risks. It also helps you to allocate the correct resources, enhancing effectiveness and efficiency.
