Engineering companies face unique challenges in maintaining a safe and compliant workplace, given the inherent risks of the industry. From managing machinery hazards to ensuring regulatory compliance, staying on top of health and safety is crucial not only for protecting workers but also for sustaining operational efficiency and reputation.
Our tailored health and safety package is designed to address these challenges, offering engineering firms the tools, guidance, and support needed to create safer workplaces. Here’s how our services can benefit your business:
1. Review or Create a Health and Safety Management System
A robust Health and Safety Management System (HSMS) forms the backbone of a safe workplace. We can review your current system or develop a new one from scratch, ensuring it aligns with industry best practices and regulatory standards. This systematic approach helps you identify, monitor, and control risks effectively.
2. Bespoke Documentation Tailored to Your Business
Generic templates often fall short of addressing the specific needs of an engineering company. Our team provides bespoke health and safety documentation, including policies and procedures, tailored to the unique demands of your business. This ensures compliance while remaining practical and relevant to your operations.
3. Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS)
Engineering work frequently involves high-risk tasks. We’ll support you in preparing detailed Risk Assessments and Method Statements, helping you evaluate hazards, implement controls, and communicate safe working practices to your team.
4. Fire Risk Assessments
Fire safety is a critical concern for engineering companies, given the presence of combustible materials and high-heat processes. Our experts deliver comprehensive Fire Risk Assessments to identify potential hazards, recommend controls, and ensure compliance with fire safety regulations.
5. 24/7 Access to Advice Line
Health and safety concerns don’t always arise during regular working hours. With our 24/7 advice line, you’ll have immediate access to expert guidance whenever you need it, providing peace of mind and swift resolution of urgent issues.
6. Onsite Emergency Support
In the event of a major incident or emergency, our team provides onsite support to help manage the situation, investigate the cause, and implement corrective actions. This ensures your business recovers swiftly while learning from the incident to prevent recurrences.
7. Accredited Training and E-Learning Options
Equipping your staff with the right knowledge and skills is essential. We offer accredited courses, classroom-based training, and flexible e-learning options to ensure your team is well-prepared to work safely and confidently.
8. Assistance with Accreditations (e.g., CHAS)
Industry accreditations like CHAS demonstrate your commitment to safety and can open doors to new opportunities. We provide full support to help you achieve and maintain these accreditations, enhancing your reputation and compliance record.
9. Fee for Intervention (FFI) Cover
Avoid unexpected financial burdens from HSE interventions. Our package includes coverage for FFI costs (£174 per hour), ensuring you’re financially protected in the event of regulatory enforcement actions.
10. Food Safety Support
For engineering firms that operate staff canteens or handle food services, we offer food safety support to ensure compliance with hygiene standards and maintain a safe environment for employees.
