A precision engineering company in Dorset
In many ways, this mid size engineering company is typical of the work undertaken by Hamilton Deed. Aware that an industrial accident could be potentially fatal for an employee, and their business, Health and Safety was pushed up the agenda.
The problem:
Increasing amounts of management time were having to be dedicated to legislation and legal compliance in terms of Health and Safety, which meant the management team were prevented from focusing on their main roles. Constantly changing UK and EU laws meant that bottom line costs were rising year on year as the company struggled to maintain legal compliance, and insurance costs were spiralling. Effective, practical measures were needed to reduce the time and cost burden while maintaining compliance in all areas.
The approach:
Hamilton Deed’s unique CAM assessment tool was used to identify the specific problem areas. Levels of risk, compliance and potential legal exposure were measured across the business and action plans created which addressed all potential problems. Constant support to the management was provided by Hamilton Deed’s team of experts, enabling a speedy resolution.
The result:
The management team could return to their normal duties, secure in the knowledge that the company’s risk profile was considerably reduced, and everything was done to ensure legal compliance.
An effective Health and Safety policy and system was in place which provided a safer workplace for employees, customers and visitors, reducing the risk of accidents and potential claims. This in turn, led to a 15% reduction in the cost of Employers’ Liability Insurance from a broker recommended by Hamilton Deed.
