Our strategic reviews involve carrying out a review of current health and safety management systems. Any gaps that may exist between what is written (in policy, procedure, risk assessment, method statement etc) and what is done (the actual behaviour of staff, visitors, contractors etc) are then identified early on, enabling an appropriate prioritised action plan to be formulated. The process can include:
- structured interviews with key stakeholders
- review of documentation including policy, procedures, risk assessments, staff satisfaction surveys, accident frequency data, etc
- accompanied site visits to compare process with practice
During the process, Sypol will identify integration opportunities with other company goals and management system arrangements to achieve win-win outcomes where possible.
The above approach will allow you, in partnership with Sypol, to establish specific aims, going beyond regulatory compliance, and achieve best practice measured against Key Performance Indicators. These should be set in terms of lagging indicators such as accidents and ill health, as well as leading indicators such as staff satisfaction, recruitment, retention and reputation.
Establishing key measures such as these provides opportunity to celebrate health and safety successes such as an incident free week, a reduction in sickness absence or an improvement in staff retention rates. This in turn will help establish a positive health and safety culture and encourage safe behaviours.
