Solutions not problems
Many consultants either walk away at this point after listing all the areas of legal non-compliance, or they propose the most effective risk controls from the top of the hierarchy without giving any consideration to the cost of implementing those recommendations
Policy confirmation – Use of Artificial Intelligence
In summary we can categorically claim and reassure our clients that we DO NOT use AI in any way for the generation of our high-level reports such as DSEAR, Fire Risk assessments, COSHH risk assessments etc. these are some of the reasons:
Supporting local community sustainability
we are pleased to reveal we made a significant supporting contribution to the Derbyshire Wildlife Trust. Their ‘Big give’ initiative aimed at reintroduction of lost species (to the local area) of Pine Martens, Eurasian Elk and White Stork was something which caught our attention.
Small Change, Big Impact: How Ergonomic Risk Assessments Transformed a Manual Manufacturing Process.
When a company specialises in bespoke manufacturing, efficiency and flexibility are everything. But custom production often comes with a hidden cost: heavy reliance on manual work. That was exactly the case for one of our recent clients—a manufacturer producing a wide range of temperature sensors, many of them built to individual customer specifications in short […]
HSE. New direction
The HSE have come up with a seven point plan for the immediate direction they are taking. These were the findings of a presentation I attended last week. Their number one item is regarding the central focus they will take towards occupational health as opposed to critical safety which has been the emphasis for most […]
Why a DSEAR Risk Assessment Is Essential for Powder Coating Booths
One of our regular clients is panicking. Their insurers are threatening to greatly increase their premiums unless they can demonstrate they have carried out a DSEAR risk assessment for their powder coat spray booth and associated curing oven. Ever since the tragedy in a paint spray shop in Norwich in 2015 where two workers sadly […]
CDOIF with confidence.
Yet another CDOIF assessment satisfies the requirement of the HSE and the EA for our clients. Chemical and Downstream Oil Industries Form, environmental alignment for COMSH regulated sites.
The best electronic health and safety management system?
“Which electronic health and safety management system should we install?. We want something that will link ISO 9001, ISO14001, and ISO 45001, be easy to install and use and not cost a fortune in licenses”. From one of my clients. We couldn’t advise, so we opened it up to 12 of our other sympathetic and […]
CDOIF lacking at sea. By Melissa Rose
Just months after I have completed a CDOIF Environmental Risk Tolerability study for sites and activities posing a high risk to the environment. Months of research into the possibility of failures (in the Oil and Chemical industry), assessment of receptors, the severity of consequences and ways to mitigate those collective scenarios led me to rethink […]
BAS
Two visits have passed, and I’m happy to say, the company I am helping is really pleased with the progress we are making. Without a HSE manager for at least 4 weeks, they really needed someone to pick them up. This week, they’ve had an Environmental Permitting review with the local authorities. Specifically, the permit […]
