Health & Safety Services - Manufacturing Sector

General consultancy
The following services are offered in addition to those outlined on the general consultancy services page.

Machinery Risk Assessments
The most significant risks in a manufacturing company are likely to be associated with the use and maintenance of the machinery. We will work closely with management and machine operators alike to establish the health and safety risks with machines, ensure that the appropriate safe systems of work are implemented and ensure compliance with the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) 1998.

Machinery Training & Competence
Although many operatives may have been using workshop machinery for many years, it is possible that they have not received any formal training on the use of the equipment. Under health & safety legislation it is necessary for employers to demonstrate that operatives have the necessary competence and a certificate of competence is the best way of demonstrating compliance. This hands on training session is therefore more of a refresher session than a course for new starters although it can be run as such.

Noise Assessments
The Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 specify that employers must carry out an assessment of noise in the workplace where personnel are exposed to noise levels in excess of 80 decibels over a full working day or week. Our suitably qualified assessors are able to carry out assessments to meet legislative requirements, and clients will be provided with a full report and advice on practical solutions for resolving any workplace noise issues.
