Atlas can support you with the implementation of a Safety Management System and Environmental Management System. You may just need support in the verification of a safe operation. Atlas specialises in site audits, and determines the degree and extent of site / business compliance against legislation and management system standards.

Management Systems can help you take your business to another level by:

  • Improved health and safety performance that will reduce the costs associated with accidents and incidents.
  • Improved awareness of legal requirements reduces the chance that you will commit any offences. The Health and Safety Executive, Environment Agency and other enforcement agencies will generally regulate your business with a lighter touch if it is well managed.
  • If employees see that you are actively looking after their health, safety and environmental aspects, relations and morale will improve.
  • The public see that you are taking a responsible attitude towards your employees. This improves your image and helps generate positive PR for your business.
  • Improving the efficiency of your business reduces your costs – it can assist you in identifying LEAN processes.
  • You can demonstrate to your insurers that you are controlling risk effectively. This may help lower your insurance premiums.
  • Banks and investors will be more willing to finance your business if you can show that it is well managed.
  • Business partners have more confidence in your business. Larger companies and government agencies may only buy from businesses that can show effective management systems.

At Atlas we use the Plan – Do – Check – Act Model or PDCA. The PDCA approach achieves a balance between the systems and behavioural aspects of management. It also treats health and safety management as an integral part of good management generally, rather than as a stand-alone system.
