50 Safety Healthcheck Audit Safety Healthcheck Audit Like every UK business you re obliged to comply with a mass of health and safety legislation.

51 Health and Safety Auditing As an employer you re required by the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations to monitor and review the effectiveness of the Risk control measures you ve put in place. One essential element of this is Health and Safety Auditing which will identify strengths, weaknesses and deficiencies. For an audit to be effective, the auditor must be impartial and have extensive experience in safety management systems. Many employers find that the easiest way to be sure of impartiality is to choose an external safety expert. And that s where we step in. The benefits One of our consultants will conduct an audit of your business and our approach will be tailored to reflect your organisation s activities and risk profile. An Aviva Risk Management Solutions Audit can either: measure against the HS(G) 65 model; or act as a gap analysis to help you meet the requirements to gain accreditation for Occupational Health & Safety Management Standard BS OHSAS *. The audit will be a critical and professional examination of your organisation s level of legal compliance and safety management practice. It will identify: whether the system is being implemented and is achieving the goals outlined in your policy whether you are fulfilling your legal and other obligations the strengths and weaknesses of your system how your system can be improved and enhanced. * We are a member of BSI s Associate Consultant Programme, reflecting our ability to help companies identify where improvements in their practice are needed in order to achieve BS OHSAS compliance. 48

55 Permit to Work Consultancy A permit to work system is a formal written system used to control certain types of work that are potentially hazardous. If effective, the system ensures that hazardous activities can only start after safe procedures have been defined; they provide a clear record that all foreseeable hazards have been considered. If you are looking to implement a new system or would like your existing system to be impartially audited, we can help. The benefits We offer a range of services to help develop and monitor your organisation s permit to work system including: Permit to work system audit A full independent audit of your existing system with recommendations for improvement Training We are accredited to deliver the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health s one day permit to work course which: Outlines senior management s responsibilities under a permit to work system Verifies the competence of the authorising and issuing authorities Provides an understanding of the permit to work system, including isolation procedures Provides guidance on the establishment, maintenance, monitoring and auditing of safe permit to work systems. 52

56 Behavioural Safety It is a surprising statistic that in approximately 80% of accidents, employee behaviour (actions or omissions) is a contributory factor. Whilst we recognise that behaviour-based safety approaches are not an alternative to effective health and safety management policies, systems or procedures, when these are mature and performing well, behaviour safety programmes can bring about further significant improvements in safety performance. If you are considering implementing a behaviour based safety programme to compliment your existing health and safety systems we will give you honest feedback on your organisation s cultural readiness to do so. The benefits We have developed the following eight stage framework for the design and implementation of a bespoke behaviour based safety programme: Making the business case Assessment of safety culture maturity Steering group development Programme design and development Observer training and pilot project Workforce training and implementation Monitoring and follow up action Review and audit.
