Insufficient Internal Expertise
Given today´s extremely competitive commercial environments, not all organisations can afford to hire a dedicated occupational safety and health specialist, complete with the up to date skills necessary to tackle the range of risks that can be faced by employers.
The manager with special responsibility for health & safety may very well have a job description that includes many other onerous duties, leaving insufficient time to develop high level H&S skills.
Symptoms of a lack of internal expertise include missing, inadequate or superficial risk assessments, repeat accidents, extensive and expensive use of personal protective equipment.
LRS has skills and experience from a wide range of industrial, commercial and public sectors that can be made available to its clients, either on a retained basis to call on as needed or alternatively to provide advice for specific projects or to solve a particular problem. LRS have the necessary expertise to be able to identify and fully analyse problem areas and then design and build pragmatic, cost effective solutions that will allow you to continue to effectively manage health and safety risks.
If you're not coping with all the health and safety duties that are required of you as a responsible employer, if you're having repeat accidents, if your formal health and safety management systems are out of date, if you don't have the competence to do what you know needs to be done, if your employees are often "off sick" then give us a call.
