FAQs
Do you have a question that needs answering or need some help?
Here are some of our most frequently asked questions on health, safety and environmental issues. If you click on a question it will take you to a general guide containing the answer.
-
How do I go about reviewing my sustainability policy?
What you do and how you approach sustainability must fit with your business needs and add value. You will need a combination of activities to fully understand and develop the process. A strategic level management review would help you at the start of this process. It would give you a good understanding of your current position allowing you to decide whether an informal or a formally recognised system is ideal for your organisation.

How do I review my fire risk assessment?
The first step to reviewing your fire risk assessment is to look at your current document and think about these questions:
Is it still applicable to my organisation?
Am I doing any new activities that could be a fire risk since the document was produced?
We offer our customers a full Fire Risk Assessment review, which provides them with an independent view of what actions they need to take to comply with legislation and reduce the chance, and impact, of any fires that may occur.

My colleagues are complaining about the conditions of their working environment, what should I do?
Your initial approach should be to assess the variables. It could be as simple as a temperature control or system balance issue, but could also have a more deep-rooted cause. Without an accurate assessment of your building, you may be forever chasing symptoms, and not reaching a full solution. Our workplace environmental assessments will test all aspects of your workplace comfort conditions, and give you an independent overview of what is causing the issues and what you need to do to rectify them.

How can I improve my asbestos management?
Information you hold about asbestos must be kept up to date and made available to anyone who may work or disturb the asbestos containing materials (ACMs). Regular reviews and condition assessments should form an essential part of your strategy, alongside training for all relevant personnel, as they are key requirements and responsibilities of the duty-holder.

Can you tell me more about where I stand on compliance?
Property compliance can be a minefield, as it covers such a broad area, with workplace procedures and contractors being scrutinised. We offer our customers a Property Compliance Assessment, which gives them an overview of their current position, and from there we create a Management System to help them meet compliance.

I have a large food preparation facility can you advise me on how I make sure it’s safe?
Where you are providing food services, high standards of hygiene in the preparation and delivery of that food is of paramount importance. A Food Hygiene Audit would provide the ideal grounding to challenge your current position and provide an action plan to get on track.

I am expecting a visit from Environmental Health to look at our kitchen, what do I need to do?
To effectively manage your catering, it needs to be considered from the supplier and facilities perspective, because even if your catering is contracted out, it is ultimately you who is responsible. We have the expertise to assess these areas. Our range of services will challenge where you are, and highlight any gaps in your management. We can also support you during visits from Environmental Health Practitioners.

My building could be at risk of flooding, what do I need to do?
Floods over the past few years have highlighted the urgent need for long-term business continuity planning. Flooding also has secondary problems as it can cause travel problems, power cuts and water supply disruption. We can carry out a Flood Risk Assessment to see where your biggest risks are and help you to minimise the impact to your organisation.

I want to benchmark my work environment health and safety performance, what do I need to do?
A whole science of it’s own, health and safety is a fundamental part of all business activities, or at least should be. Dependent on the nature of your business, the list of activities you undertake and the impact they have will vary. Breaking down these activities is the key to understanding how they support the business. We offer an array of solutions from strategic, high-level policy issues to specific operational controls, covering reviews, risk assessments and training, as well as documentation and policy development or support.

How do I know I’m getting the best possible service from my contractors?
Ensuring that your contractors are doing a good job is not just satisfying a Service Level Agreement (SLA), but making sure they are right for your business is critical. We offer a range of tailored assessment, backed, where needed, with testing and examination work, to help you identify the work being undertaken and how valuable it really is.
