Avoiding the Stereotypes

All organisations, to varying extents, exist and prosper because they take risks.  Every day organisations make critical decisions about the risks they actively want to pursue:  Will they tender for a particular contract?  Invest in a new production line?  Decide to out-source a service or function?  Keeping people healthy and safe can be seen as a risk to be managed or an opportunity to be embraced to help you achieve your goals and objectives.  Whatever your view of health and safety, businesses can flounder if they get the balance wrong, hamstringing themselves either with incidents or unnecessarily complex procedures.

Usually Waterman are called on because the client:

• Wants an expert opinion from an independent organisation about how the client is meeting the ambitions and standards they set for themselves (ranging from legal compliance to breaking the mould).

• Wants help understanding how legislation and guidance applies to their specific business.

• Know what they need to do and how they are doing.  They simply need a partner to help them put it into practice, e.g. by training their staff or helping them understand why they are encountering, or how to manage, a specific problem.

   

  Whatever you want or need, our ambition is to provide a pragmatic, reliable, timely and solution-focussed service.  We have a genuine passion for the subject and understand the difference between cost and value.  It’s what keeps our clients coming back to us time and time again.
