Risk Assessments

Management Systems

When companies need such assistance they look for a team with the experience to appreciate the demands of their business and help them to understand how they can improve.  At Chesterfield Health and Safety we help businesses across the UK with all aspects of occupational health and safety.  We have the experience to work closely with each of our clients to deliver a service best suited to their needs.  Our customers range from Pan European companies to small businesses.

In addition to the standard legal requirements a strong health and safety policy together with other safety documents is about setting down firm foundations for your management of safety. Defining how you want to work safely, how you'll achieve that and ensuring clarity of responsibility - a good safety policy/manual is the bedrock for your management of safety.  Each Policy we develop is unique and written specifically for each client - we map what you do, how you're organised and provide all the required elements for your safety management.

Risk assessments are required by every business in the modern day; whether for fixed workplaces or for project based work.  We have experience in developing systems or undertaking the whole task of risk assessments on your behalf.

 

We provide advice and support for work with chemicals and substances; whether simple solutions for lower risk items through to more thorough systems where chemical risks are a major issue for the business we can support your business through the risks and regulations.
Detailed COSHH assessments, suitable safe work methods and advice on storage along with staff training where required contact us for advice on chemicals and substances in the work place.

Health and safety audits are a fundamental check of your company going beyond safety inspections.  We can include an assessment of your safety policy, risk assessments, training and all aspects of how safety is managed in your company.
We typically undertake this as the first step in our relationship with new clients.

This can also be completed as a standalone task to independently review a company's safety management system.  The audit will highlight strengths and weakness within your existing safety systems, giving you a platform from which to take the next steps, or to give reassurance that you have achieved your aims.

Monday 6 April saw the new Construction Design and Management (CDM) Regulations 2015 officially come into force, marking the beginning of a six-month transitional period before the deadline date of 6 October.  So what do companies planning construction projects need to know?

 With the role of CDM Coordinator now made obsolete, clients must take an overseeing role in their construction projects with the support of a Principle Designer (PD), which can be an organisation or an individual who is responsible for the pre-construction phase and oversees the design and planning, and Principle Contractor (PC) throughout the construction phase.  These roles must now be filled where there is more than one contractor working on a project, regardless of size or duration.  Initially, they must ensure the PD and PC have the necessary skills, knowledge, experience and organisational capability to manage the health and safety risks.

Pre-construction information must be compiled by the client and issued to both parties, providing critical and high risk information which is crucial in allowing them to ensure there is relevant welfare facilities in place and that the health and safety arrangements are implemented with regular reviews as the project progresses.  The PD will be responsible for developing the H&S file in the first instance.  The client must also take reasonable steps to ensure that both the PC and PD comply fully with their duties and adhere to all relevant legislation including the Health and Safety at Work Act, Working at Height Regulations and RIDDOR.

Client companies also now have a responsibility to inform the HSE of larger construction projects via an F10 form if the project is either expected to last more than 30 days and have more than 20 workers on site at any one time, or will exceed 500 person days in total.
