Workplace Risk Assessments

We can give you clear, practical advice to help you make your workplace safer and more productive.
Our structured approach to risk assessment can be applied to most workplaces and situations including:

• complying with current health & safety legislation
• investigating complaints and providing practical solutions
• providing practical workplace amendments to help employees return to work from sick leave
• making reasonable adjustments to an individual's workstation or duties to allow them to manage the effects of a disability.

Benefits

We ensure that our clients not only comply with the law but also gain real benefits from our workplace assessments. They are not a 'tick box' exercise but an opportunity to:

• improve employees’ comfort and safety
• improve productivity and quality
• reduce ill-health, injuries and complaints
• cut compensation claims
• contribute to staff morale and well-being.

Our approach is:

• Well proven.  Based on the UK's Health and Safety Executive Guidance, industry best practice and international ergonomics standards - which we helped develop.
• Expert.  Our consultants are qualified ergonomists/health & safety practitioners with extensive commercial experience.
•  Independent.  We do not endorse or sell any equipment or products.  
• Clear and straightforward.  Our results are presented in an easy to use format.  We agree the level of detail required with you in advance, from summaries of key points to illustrated fully detailed reports
• Practical and cost-effective.  We can advise on simple adjustments to overcome workplace problems during the assessment.
• Prioritised.  Our recommendations are prioritised to help you make informed choices and take appropriate action in view of the level of risk and your resources.

What do our clients say?

The consultants are flexible and have spent time getting to know us and work in partnership with all parts of our organisation.  They have consistently met the Department’s service criteria for the timeliness of contacts, visits, reports and implementation and have received some first-rate feedback from line managers, the Department’s Medical Adviser and the employees they have assessed.
