Theory and practice are of course not always the same and with a fast-moving situation, such as COVID-19, sometimes the obvious isn’t.
Working within our own safe working methods and risk assessments, we can visit your premises, either during planning or after mobilisation, to check how your control measures are working in practice.
Undertaken by one of our experienced health and safety consultants, this visual check of your operational COVID-19 risk management will identify:
- What is working well;
- Any areas of the plan that are not working; plus
- Provide documented evidence that you reviewed your controls.
So, should you be challenged about any issues arising from your COVID-19 risk management, you will have an independent viewpoint to draw on for support, as required.
