Health & Safety Management

Health & Safety Management

Health & safety management schemes do not just provide equipment safety, but help to ensure that your business meets with all of the requirements of current health & safety regulations. The law requires businesses to use effective and appropriate safety management procedures, but all too often these can be either confusing, or time consuming, and in both cases the result is often that good practice is not followed, and this can easily lead to accidents. We offer a wide variety of health & safety management schemes, and our '‘Good to Go' safety management scheme is highly respected as an industry standard which helps you to provide effective, highly visible, easily understandable and simple to use equipment safety systems which will reduce both the number of accidents, and the size of your insurance premium as well.

'Good To Go'

With some companies needing daily checks, others weekly or monthly checks, and with a wide range of equipment needing to be safety checked it can often be confusing to know whether you are good to go or not. Creating an audit of your current equipment can be a mammoth task, and may not always be wholly accurate. The Good to Go safety management system has been created based on 20 years experience of equipment safety monitoring and auditing. At its heart is the Safe Equipment Management System (SEMS) which is a flexible health & safety management system designed to adapt to your needs, your equipment and your auditing or safety checking frequency. Providing a clear and accessible audit trail at every stage, the Good to Go SEMS is a proactive system of checks and procedures which allows workers to be responsible for the accurate checking of equipment as required, with clear, visible and easy to implement systems providing the ideal business-wide safety management system.

Forklift Truck Safety

Within the UK there are about 8,000 accidents involving forklift trucks every year, of which 100 are fatal. Investigations into these accidents often conclude that the result was a lack of training or understanding on the part of the forklift truck operator with respect to safety procedures and safe operational management. In every one of these cases the ultimate responsibility for effective operator training is with the employer. The Good to Go safety management system provides solutions specifically designed for forklift truck operation, and involves the use of a tamper resistant, highly visible yellow pod, often location near the ignition box. This includes a health & safety management checklist of safety precautions, from visual checks of the equipment to operating guidelines. The tamper evident seal ensures that checks are verifiable and authentic, and provides a clear audit trail and record of safety management. Highly durable, being robust, water resistant, UV resistant and tamper resistant, the Good to Go forklift truck safety system represents real value for money, as well as a practical solution which will help reduce forklift truck accidents, and lower businesses insurance premiums too.

Ladder Health & Safety

Ladders are a major source of accidents at work, with over 1,200 every year, an alarming proportion of which are fatal. In an overwhelming number of cases of injury at work through the use of a ladder, the cause has been due to either poor, incomplete, inappropriate or inadequate safety training and management. Daily checks, visual checks and a clear checklist of safety points to consider each time a ladder is required all help to drastically reduce the chance of an injury or accident. Our Good to Go equipment management system provides a highly visible solution which can be attached to a ladder - at eye level preferably - and which provides such a checklist. It is quick and simple to use, helps to ensure the appropriate ladder is selected for each job, and that the ladder is used in compliance with safety management procedures. This is yet another example of health & safety management at work becoming easier, simpler, yet more effective, helping to lower risk, and lower premiums.
