ABOUT US
As specialist health and safety consultants, we review and advise on policy
and working practices for organisations of all kinds and sizes. But our work is
about far more than rules and regulations.

It’s about making people feel safe and looked after, which in turn makes for a
happier workplace. Numerous studies show that when employees feel happy
and cared for, productivity increases, while downtime and absenteeism fall.

Effective health and safety practises can also prevent the kind of incidents
that lead to costly legal action, not to mention the reputations of senior
managers and board directors, who may be found personally liable.

Our professionals are Occupational Health and Safety Advisors and Fire
Auditors registered by the Directorate of Occupational Safety and Health
services.

We recognize that our customers are the cornerstone of our business and
make our success possible. We believe that providing support in protecting
their employees’ health and ensuring their safety can make a significant
difference to their working and personal lives, and ultimately enhance our
productivity as a business.

Annual Fire Risk Assessments (Fire Audit)

A fire risk assessment is a process involving the systematic evaluation of the

factors that determine the hazard from fire, the likelihood that there will be a
fire and the consequences if one were to occur.

A fire risk assessment involves a physical inspection of the building to

determine the adequacy of the existing fire precautions and the need for any
additional measures.

However, of equal importance to the physical inspection is a review of fire

safety management in the organization and consideration of the human
factors – how people will respond to an emergency and whether they will
take appropriate action.

The fire risk assessment also carried out to satisfy the requirements of
legislation.

The main objective of this is to will primarily be the safety of the occupants of
the building.

Work place Risk Assessments

Work Place Risk assessments is a legal requirement of the Occupational

Health and Safety Act 2007, which requires all employers to make a suitable
and sufficient assessment of the risks to workers and any other who may be
affected by their work or business.

Our approach to Risk Assessment process provides a systematic means for us

to carry out and record all the risk assessments by:

• Identification of hazard
• Deciding who might be harmed and how
• Assessing the severity of the risk
• Recording existing control measures
• Identifying further actions
• Providing a review mechanism
