Audit and Gap Analysis
We specialise in conducting comprehensive health and safety and biosafety audits. These audits are designed to ensure your organisation’s compliance with key regulations, including COSHH, Genetically Modified Organisms (Contained Use) Regulations, and relevant Approved Codes of Practice and Guidance.
Our audit process typically spans days and involves a meticulous review of your documentation, on-site visits to engage with a representative sample of your staff and view the operations and controls for your premises. This detailed approach enables us to accurately assess your organization’s compliance status and identify areas for improvement.
Following the audit, we provide you with a detailed report that outlines your performance and offers practical recommendations for enhancement. You are also given an action log to help you rack your progress. You have the flexibility to decide whether to implement these recommendations independently or with our assistance, allowing you to remain in control of the process.
This service is invaluable for organizations seeking to uphold strong governance practices at the board level and demonstrate their commitment to compliance to regulatory bodies and insurers.
Contract Biosafety Officer
We help you to manage your obligations under the COSHH, GM (contained used regulations) and other biosafety regulations. The regulators do their checks on organisations to see if they meet their obligations to protect human health and the environment. We work with you to have a positive outcome when they visit.
GM risk assessments, Biological (non-GM Risk Assessment) and other laboratory risk assessment reviews
Clients find our GM and biological risk assessment reviews essential for notifying the relevant authorities (such as the HSE) to get research underway. Over the years we have done this for many clients so that they can get their groundbreaking research underway. We also undertake other reviews helping you to ensure that they are suitable and sufficient for the level of risk present within your organisations.
Competent Advisory Services
Our subscription plans offer valuable support for organizations lacking internal resources. Spread over 1 or 2 years, these plans designate us as your competent advisor under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. As advisors, we fulfil your need for competent person support by addressing general health and safety concerns. Queries submitted via email receive timely responses within agreed-upon time frames. Subscribers gain access to ongoing, reliable advice, ensuring seamless operations and peace of mind.
Risk Assessment Foundation Training
We educate your staff on how to carry out robust risk assessments. Having robust risk assessments and following through minimises the chances of accidents and other serious events that can disrupt your business, bring it to a hold and trigger an investigation from the Health and Safety Executive. This can result in prosecution and reputational damage. We come to your organisation and deliver this training, making it convenient for you to empower your staff with vital knowledge to conduct essential risk assessments.
