For Better Health and Safety
SafetyWise Ltd has been operating since 1998, and is based in Somerset.
We have developed considerable experience of our client sectors, and have put together highly successful safety management systems for many organisations. We work across the UK, both on site with clients and their partners, and from our office.
What are we about?
We believe that as every organisation is unique, so the safety management systems which will work best for that organisation must also be unique. We develop and implement systems in close conjunction with clients, and we do not use any standard material, but create fully appropriate documentation for the client. This also means that we can build on in house strengths, and integrate the management of safety with other successful systems.
We don't like paper
Systems are about what happens. Files of paperwork are of very limited value. Every word documented has a valid reason, and our systems are only as detailed and complex as is actually necessary. We also communicate electronically, and print out only on request.
Why housing and social care?
Health and safety law has its origins in construction, heavy engineering and manufacturing. Interpreting the law for the very different sectors we operate in is a challenge, and allows for creative thinking. We put people at the heart of our practices, the people who are intrinsic to risk in our sectors, and also the people we deal with. We put a very high value on relationships. Our focus is as much on the safety and wellbeing of service users as on staff.
We are not risk averse
Risk is part of running any business, and there is nothing wrong with risk. Our concern is to ensure that the risk is known and understood, correctly evaluated, and that any associated legal requirements are met. At that point - your decision, and we will not be urging risk averse approaches, but sensible management strategies.
