Health and Safety Gap Analysis
Our consultancy services include Health and Safety Gap Analysis, which is a comprehensive service to highlight areas of potential risk within your organisation. Health and Safety Gap analysis is an essential process to protect your business and your team members, both physically and legally, and aims to identify the gaps between current practice and the standards required by law.
Hierarchy or Control Measures
When we carry out a Health and Safety Gap Analysis, we apply the hierarchy or control measures, looking primarily at actions that can be taken to remove the hazard. Where this is not possible, we consider options for replacing the hazard with a less dangerous situation, or reducing exposure to it. Our ultimate aim is the elimination of risk altogether, which is the most effective way to deal with a hazard, and the least effective option involves wearing PPE to protect a worker where exposure cannot be avoided.
Administrative Controls
As part of our Health and Safety Analysis, we will consider training to reduce the risk in a situation where a hazard cannot be eliminated, substituted or reduced. This is known as an administrative control. Prevention is the key to protecting your workplace and employees. Training is an essential way to do this, equipping your staff with the knowledge and resources to take responsibility for enhancing workplace safety.
Identifying Gaps in Training
It is often the case that gaps in Health and Safety practices or training are only identified when accidents occur, and our aim is to identify these gaps in advance and prevent potential accidents, keeping your workforce and your premises safe. Our consultants will identify gaps in training and produce a strategy to combat these gaps and improve your practice.
Problem Solving for Your Workplace
A Safety Gap Analysis is an excellent way to ensure that your operations are watertight and that you are measuring up to the legislation that governs your practice. It can identify the strengths and weaknesses of your practice and establish where you can make improvements to ensure compliance. It is a problem solving tool that can be used to meet performance goals and can form part of your annual audit, and our consultants will be happy to discuss the best ways to implement this for you.
