With legislation continuously becoming more complex, companies have an increasing number of issues to resolve. We provide a variety of practical, flexible health and safety consultancy solutions.
This review of current practice, processes and procedures is a vital part in us doing our job properly, allowing us to put into motion action plans that are right for your organisation and its activities; rather than installing a generic system that can often be of little use.
Full Health & Safety Management Systems – Atlas has expertise in designing comprehensive and integrated health and safety management systems, which have the capability to ‘adjust’ with any company enlargement and/or diversification. In addition, we have experience at reviewing existing systems and identifying any shortcomings. We pride ourselves on our enthusiasm in providing pragmatic solutions to address any potential gaps.
Gap Analysis / Training Needs Analysis – Understanding where you are starting from is absolutely essential when you embark on the journey of improving workplace safety performance. One of our consultants will sit with you to help to identify where any shortcomings in policies and procedures might exist in your current system and guide you through a plan of action to ensure that your Safety Management System and your workforce are compliant with legislation in all aspects of policy, procedure and workforce competence.
Risk Assessments – Modern health and safety revolves around the ‘hazard’ generator – understanding precisely what risks are created and, more importantly, what has to be done to put things right if things are not. The risk assessments we undertake reflect the nature and complexity of the process; i.e. if it’s simple and safe, then so should the risk assessment be. We do not over-complicate things for the sake of it.
Safety Method Statements – Subsequent to the risk assessment is the need to provide basic and clear instructions (as staff may not all be experienced). The Safety Method Statements we draw up take the operator through the process in a way that will ensure their health and safety (and for those around them, such as colleagues and the public).
Small Policy Documentation – If there are certain aspects of your overall health and safety management system missing or out-of-date, then we can produce policy and procedure documentation (e.g. Working at Height, Substance Abuse and Confined Space Entry) in a way that integrates perfectly with existing documents and reflects your company vision and aims.
