Retail
Are you complying with the requirements of legislation in each of the countries you operate stores?
Even though they may only operate a small amount of low risk stores in a specific country, there are specific legal requirements in almost all countries that have to be complied with by ALL organisations operating in that country.
Implementing policies and procedures using a corporate safety team doesn't ensure compliance
If you employ over 5 staff in a specific country, there are often explicit requirements
Lots of countries require:
-
medical assessments to be provided or at least offered
-
scheduled meetings to be arranged with workers to discuss safety
-
country specific risk assessments to be completed
-
employees to formally recognised as safety representatives
-
risk training to be provided to all employees, with additional required for managers
-
safety inspections to be completed at a given frequency
We can provide simplified guides for over 20 countries, explaining the requirements, and provide a quote for providing a compliance service based upon the number stores you operate and staff you employ in each country.
Sports & Events
Are you confident that you fully understand the Safety & Security risks associated with the event?
Event Organisers routinely use specialists to manage the Safety and Security risks associated with an event, keeping an open communication line around resources needed to manage the risks.
Without having a solid understanding of the different risk scenarios, you become fully reliant upon the information provided to you, causing a potential vulnerability.
Accountability remains with the organisers in the event of a significant incident occurring
-
Are you confident that Safety & Security risks are being effectively identified and mitigated?
-
Is there clarity about key risks identified and main exposures which exist for you as the ‘Event Organiser’?
-
Are Build, Pre-Live, Live and Derig phases specifically covered in the risk register?
-
Do the updates provided by your Safety/Security specialists, align with the updates from your operational leaders?
-
Is there potential that key risk information could be held back due to operational priorities, or a lack of budget?
-
Are control measures as robust as other similar events, or are they under/over specified?
-
Have control measures and emergency procedures been fully understood and ‘effectively’ tested?
