Effective risk management is key for a safe and healthy workplace - Guardian Risk Management can help

You are legally required to assess the risks in your workplace

You cannot reduce risks in the workplace to zero. That would mean stopping a range of work activities involving some risk and so losing the benefits they bring. The objective of risk management is to ensure that people in control of work activities manage the risks properly. To do that they have to make sound judgements about the level of the risk and then decide what they should do to reduce the risk to an acceptable level.

At Guardian Risk Management (GRM) we have experience in identifying the key risks to businesses and could help you reduce the likelihood of accidents and ill health, damage to property and equipment and business interruptions by assisting you in the development of a risk improvement plan.

By working with you and your insurers, we can help minimise your losses and save you money on your premiums. In some cases we have seen up to 15% reductions in Employers Liability (EL) insurance alone.

Risk Assessment Service

A consultant will visit your premises and conduct a general risk assessment. All you need to do is appoint a member of staff who you feel would be able to conduct the assessments in the future and they will be given hands on training as part of the exercise. The consultant and your representative will undertake general risk assessments of your premises and activities.

The consultant will then produce a risk assessment manual. This will be provided in hard copy and on CD as a word document to enable your representative to review and update the assessments as necessary in the future.

Once the manual has been produced, the consultant will revisit your premises and brief your management team on the findings of the assessment and the corrective actions necessary. Prices for this exercise vary depending on the size of the organisation and the length of time anticipated for completing the exercise.

We can also provide training in a number of areas for your employees. Training in manual handling, noise awareness, handling chemicals, use of personal protective equipment etc.
