How We Work With: HPS

Health and Safety Works

Each year, we spend 10 months visiting each HPS outlet at least once per branch, to carry out ri and management checks, PAT testing, equipment testing, training and above all else, ensure that everyone knows what they need to do and how they need to act in order to be safe and compliant. But, before we could do that, we had to make the company Safer.

To begin with, we designed built and implemented, a full health and safety system for them. This covered everything from staff competency to toolbox talks. Next, we designed and built a full induction process to ensure that new staff were able to join the workface safely and efficiently.

Now that these processes are in place, it is our job to annually review these health and safety policies and risk assessments, to ensure the business is updated in line with legislative changes. Because workplace risks are ever evolving with the introduction of any new machinery or process.

Here’s a list of what we manage when on site:

• PAT Tests
• Ladder Inspections
• Emergency Light Inspection
• Liaison with Fire Engineers
• Independent inspection of H&S elements
• First aid training
• Staff risk assessment training
• Review of racking with management
• Bespoke task-based risk assessments
• 1-2-1 management support where required

Ongoing Support

In addition to these fundamentals, we also offer the business full proactive and reactive support, to help management in their operations and the business’ ongoing expansion.

What Type of Risks Are We Looking For?

When it comes to a business like this, where large bodies of staff work as seamlessly in both groups and as individuals to operate machinery, deal with extensive racked storage areas and manage the general public, a company-wide understanding of health and safety is paramount. It ensures that all members of staff know what to do in the event of a fire, an injury or an equipment emergency.
