A Workplace Health and Safety Check is about checking and, if necessary, reconfiguring an existing workplace to meet ever changing legislation and responsibilities. As much as about health and safety our Workplace Health and Safety Check encompasses a report on the condition of your facilities and any obvious inefficient processes.
The workplace health and safety check will identify areas of your environment that are not compliant with the latest Health and Safety law, and current Building Regulations. It will also review any performance inhibiting arrangements and address items in need of maintenance or repair.
Health and Safety primarily, including, for example, a survey of the fire detection, prevention and alarm systems, the emergency light configuration, fire exit strategy and directional signage.
It also includes a comprehensive examination of your Operation and Maintenance Manuals identifying if they are complete and up-to-date, as well as an assessment on how your work place is currently put to use with suggestions that would improve efficiency, create more space or improve the “feel” of your environment.
Having a check will ensure that your building is compliant with all legal obligations relating to your work environment and the employment of people and visiting guests with varying requirements. This will assist you in the prevention of an incident for which you may otherwise liable.
In view of the fact that a workplace receives hundreds of times more traffic, and so wear, than an average home, it is essential that regular checks are performed and preventative measures taken to stop damage occurring. In the long run, investment in early repairs and regular maintenance will save you money over an average lease period. We aim to spot and identify such issues before they develop into a more substantial problem.
Work environments often benefit from minor layout alterations or improved workstation ergonomics in which efficiency is increased and staff morale boosted. Again we know what to look for and are able to advise you on both cost effective and longer term, permanent remedies.
