Gloucestershire-based safety consultancy C&G Safety &
Environmental has introduced an on-line service for companies who
are struggling to manage complex health & safety
requirements.
Safety 247 allows companies to put all their training needs,
statutory tests, checks and inspections, documents and other
details on a web database which will automatically remind them when
they need to take action.
Increasingly complex health & safety legislation is making
it difficult for companies to stay on top of the law. For example,
they may need to arrange fire safety checks annually, statutory
tests for lifting equipment every six months and refresher training
for staff who operate plant and machinery every three years.
C&G's on-line risk management system collects all the
necessary data through audits and inspections and keeps it up to
date. A training matrix is prepared with the various course types
and due dates entered. The system then alerts the client by email
whenever a test or inspection needs to be arranged, documents need
to be updated or someone's training is due for a
refresher.
The user can see an audit report summary which shows all sites
and outstanding issues, inspection dates, copies of reports and so
on. Sub-contractor assessments and approvals can also be monitored.
All safety documents are stored on line for ready access.
"Many of our clients are finding it a major headache to keep on
top of the increasing body of safety legislation" says Roger Hart
of C&G Safety & Environmental. "Safety 247 looks after it
all. It also allows clients to present a more professional image to
clients, and to keep costs down."
