Risk assessments are normally carried out on site with the people who are going to be doing the work being directly involved in the process.

It normally comprises 5 parts:

1. Initial meeting and determining of risks involved in the work to be carried out. This involves all relevant parties to participate.
2. We take this information and draw up a site /work specific risk assessment.
3. We return the completed risk assessment to you and we discuss and train where necessary all relevant parties on how to implement the findings and recommendations of the risk assessment.
4. If all relevant parties are is satisfied with the risk assessment it is signed off by all relevant parties and then it is implemented.
5. The risk assessment is adopted and modified as needed due to changing situations and is normally re assessed on a regular basis as determined by all relevant parties.

When there is an incident/accident at your place of work either at your home site or at a site where you are conducting work on behalf of a client we can conduct a full investigation covering all legal aspects.

This can be done independently or together with company representatives or inspectors from the relevant government agencies.

We submit a written report and also assist with the paperwork required when claiming from your insurance company or from the workmans compensation commissioner.

Safety and environmental audits are done as required by law or as needed by the relevant authorities or client needs.

This normally happens on a monthly basis.

We do an onsite visit and check all safety aspects that is required by law and also all issues identified in the risk assessments or brought up at safety meetings, safety rep reports or during incident investigations. We will also look at issues that came up at other workplaces that may impact on your company.

If we find any immediate life threatening situations we stop all work and inform management and/or the relevant authorities. Otherwise we draw up a safety report and submit it to management within 2 working days. Management inspects, sets out completion dates for all sub standards identified, signs off on the report and findings and returns it to us within 2 working days.

At the next audit we take the previous report and use this as a starting point for the audit.

We offer various in house training courses for all your workers. This takes the form of a lesson plan that is preapproved and then presented to the employees. After the lesson is presented there is a test given which can be a written, practical or a combination of the two.

The assessment is evaluated and a certificate of competency is issued if the student is found to be competent.

There is also an opportunity for the student to be re assessed for competency.

Training can be adopted for your company’s specific needs taking all legal requirements into consideration.

Currently we offer the opportunity for your company to receive ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 accreditation.

We offer the following for your company:

1. If you don’t have any accreditation, we will implement the system for your company. That entails setting up the system, identifying what is needed to comply and then getting everything in place so that you can apply for your accreditation with the regulatory bodies involved.
2. If you already have a system in place we can audit it as internal auditors. This is required if you want to apply for new accreditation or if you already have or lost your accreditation to regain it. The same will apply as in (1) above i.e. checking what is needed, implementing the shortcomings identified and then apply for you.
3. If yours is a company that have contractors that supply goods used in your business the requirement is that these contractors supply you with a safety file that must conform to the same requirements as those applicable to your company. We can do the same for them as we do for you i.e. compile, audit the files and fix all non conformances identified.

These are international accredited and shows that your company is serious about safety and the environment. If you wish to expand your company and deal with national and even international company’s these are very important accreditations to have, even for small businesses.

Sometimes there is solitary situations not covered by your normal safety plans for instance functions at venues that are not covered by your company.

Most municipal and other local authorities require that where more than a certain amount of people are gathered or a temporary structure is constructed for a function that a risk assessment and safety report be submitted before the function can take place. We are available to perform this function if required.
