After experiencing a number of accidents on site, a mid sized construction company contacted HSE Solutions to assess the health and safety procedures on their many building sites.

HSE Solutions visited a selection of sites to conduct safety inspections and found that a number of simple safety procedures were not being administered by the site managers nor adhered to by the site workers. Irregular generic risk assessments, rather than site specific risk assessments were being carried out by site managers, which meant that checks on scaffolding and safety were often insufficient. Our team were able to provide guidance on how to improve and standardise the checks and their document management procedures.

Our team also provided training to site managers to enable them to better understand how risk management fits into their daily duties and how their actions could protect both themselves and their employer's assets. This resulted in improved worker and public safety and improved external stakeholder perceptions of the business, and eventually in reduced incidents and claims.
