Helping you return to work safely

NEW COVID-19 Assurance Assessment Service
 

Recent decisions by governments around the world to start easing restrictions and cautiously re-open society has been challenging. There has been support in places by the publication of framework workplace guidance for organisations to adopt as part of their return to work protocols and subsequent risk management of the COVID-19 hazard. However, we realise that many organisations are under extreme pressure to return to operational activity and looking for credible and reliable sources of support.

Using our health, safety and environmental experts together with colleagues in Mates In Mind, we are now able to provide you with technical consultancy support in the form of an assurance assessment service.

 

NEW COVID-19: Assurance Assessment Service

The assurance assessment service focuses on 5 elements of business recovery and can help support the stabilisation and future growth of your organisation.

The following five factors provide the framework for the consultancy services:

• Organisational context and stakeholder profile (risk management)
• Operational processes (risk assessment, safe operating procedures, etc)
• Health and wellbeing
• Stakeholder engagement
• Facilities and workplace health and safety (workplace adjustments, etc).

 

Our technical support includes:

• Risk assessment reviews
• Support for workplace procedure development and reviews (including social distancing, health surveillance, workplace control measures, emergency planning, PPE, etc)
• Health and wellbeing guidance (including mental health factors)
• Communication and information
• Leadership and behavioural factors
• Assurance auditing.

 

Our help doesn’t stop there

We can also support you as the guidelines, requirements and stakeholder expectations change to ensure your workplace remains as safe and healthy as is reasonably practicable.

 

Assurance Statement

Whether you have already established COVID-19 policies, protocols and workplace controls or you are just getting started, there is considerable benefit in undertaking an independent third-party review (audit) of these arrangements. We can provide such an assurance audit / review against current government and sector guidelines and provide an Assurance Statement, together with a summary report, with recommendations for improved controls if appropriate.

This can provide you with external verification of your commitment to providing a safe and healthy workplace in accordance with current national and sector COVID-19 guidelines.
