HEALTH & SAFETY CONSULTANCY
Health and safety risks can significantly affect businesses. Managing health and safety risk is vital in reducing the likelihood of harm and creating a sustainable and healthy work environment, which in turn drives profitability and respect in the organisation.
By applying the principles of sound risk management to operations we will help you to manage the health and safety hazards and risks to your organisation more effectively. We help contextualise the risk and apply it to a framework for your organisation. Once it is in and running smoothly, we help you to put the structure and monitoring processes in place to enable continual improvement.
A strong health and safety culture begins with the systems that are implementing it. When Construct Health reviews your safety management systems we are looking to identify not only your weaknesses but your strengths as well. The aim is to have a practical, sustainable, and realistic system that works effectively in closing the gap between the written word, and the actions undertaken. Having this cohesion will foster a safe culture in your operation.
Construct Health can assess your contractor’s health and safety management systems, policies, and practices before engaging them on site. This can include reviewing their job safety analysis, task analysis, and safe work method statements to ensure they will be meeting your health and safety expectations. By completing these assessments prior to commencing works, Construct Health helps you reduce the risk of incident onsite. Contractor pre-assessments are equally important to ensure that the expectations and requirements that are established prior to works are followed throughout the entirety of the project.
Identifying the risks of a project is a crucial step in the process to mitigate these. Construct Health can work with you throughout the entire lifecycle of design by using our own exclusive safety in design software. This allows risks to be identified by all consultants at any stage of the design or build. Our software provides transparency of the risks of a project and promotes a cooperative environment that requires collaboration from all parties when mitigating or closing out risks. Construct Health will facilitate risk workshops between clients, consultants, and contractors to ensure there is a consistent understanding and approach to any risks identified on a project
When hazards cannot be eliminated, the hierarchy of control needs to be followed to mitigate the potential risks as best as possible. Once hazards are identified and assessed for their risk level, the best control options can be explored and implemented. Whether this be working at height, confined space, or hazardous substance controls, Construct Health can guide you through the best practice standards and ensure any legislative requirements are being met.
