At Donaldson Safety, we can help our clients to develop and improve the performance of their Safety Management Systems. Often, the first step in increasing performance is to conduct a detailed safety and health audit of policies, programs, record keeping, and loss data. The information from the audit is used to develop a management action plan that will result in improved performance. Our goal is to provide a noticeable return on investment for our clients.

The goal is always to ensure that enough precautions have been taken to prevent harm from happening.

• Develop a COSHH assessment process to identify hazards, assess risks, and determine effectiveness of risk controls
• Define a clear process of when to apply risk assessment, and what tools to use
• Lead and support COSHH assessments to generate meaningful information about existing controls and their quality

Inspections

Site inspections are an essential part of the construction process. If done correctly, they can have tremendous advantages for anyone working in the industry. They can provide the certainty that everything proceeds as it should and in a safe way.

Proper safety planning

The attention that our inspectors invest on safety is a big plus for construction. Identifying the safest road in using equipment and making sure that all the members of your construction project aren’t in any kind of danger is priceless. And that’s why, inspections should always be one of the main pillars in a construction project.

Hazard identification

Coupled with the point made above, hazard identification is hands down one of the most mention-worthy pros of construction inspections. If you want for your inspection to have a positive outcome, you have to be fully aware of the various dangers on site. In that manner, you can also be better protected. 

Better task focus

Inspections may be a pain sometimes but they help those who work in a construction site to maintain an alert state of mind. In simple words, this signifies that construction workers and agents have better concentration and clearer focus on what they are doing. What is more, they have all the necessary means for working efficiently given the fact that everyone is living up to the pre-established expectations.

Improved construction quality

Inspections can have a very positive impact on the quality of the building structures. Putting together a project context that follows the existing regulations can help significantly in upgrading both its quality and safety. The greater the quality the greater the profit for those involved.

Greener construction

Last but certainly not least, the beneficial impact of inspections on the environment. At the moment, there are thorough environmental regulations for the construction industry. Inspections are contributing a lot in making construction companies actually follow them. The serious penalties that come as a result of any potential environmental violations have been, through the years, a great ally to the effort for a greener construction industry.
