In today’s compensation culture and increasing employer’s liability insurance costs, Health and Safety has become an issue that must be addressed.
Workplace Risk Management recognise that engineering and manufacturing locations, can be amongst the most hazardous within the workplace. It is essential your work force’s safety is properly managed and that they and others are not exposed to unnecessary risk. Their safety is paramount and we can offer guidance, practical solutions and documentation. Our aim is not just to meet the legal Health and Safety requirements but, through thorough risk assessments, suggest improvements to ensure that hazards at work are properly managed.
With over 3.2 million people employed in manufacturing and engineering in the UK it is no surprise that there are in excess of 26,000 injuries reported annually to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) that are as a result of poor work practices. These injuries are spread amongst a variety of different types of manufacturing businesses including engineering; printing; laundry and dry cleaning services; paper mills; leather and footwear industries; motor vehicle repair; cement works; ceramics industry; concrete production; rubber production; the plastics industry; quarry production; the textile industry; the woodworking industry; surface engineering; waste and recycling; stonemasonry; heavy clay and brick production; molten metal production; and glass and glazing.
