Background
A prestigious UK biomedical research organisation required expert health and safety support to improve contractor management and standardise incident investigation procedures.
Operating in a high-risk research environment, the organisation needed robust systems to enhance safety and compliance.
The Challenge
The client required an experienced consultant to enhance health and safety by improving contractor control, updating processes for lab equipment maintenance via the Permit to Work system, and standardising incident investigations with consistent documentation and procedures to support safer practices and organisational learning.
The Solution
We placed a seasoned health and safety professional who:
Reviewed and enhanced contractor management processes
Standardised incident investigation procedures
Created clear guidelines and tools to ensure consistent implementation
The Results
Enhanced Contractor Management: The candidate improved contractor processes, integrating them into existing systems.
Standardised Incident Investigations: Clear guidelines and tools for investigations were developed, ensuring consistent procedures were applied across all teams.
Strengthened Safety Culture: Risks were reduced and compliance improved across the organisation, creating a proactive safety culture.
