Health and Safety Projects

Since September we have been working closely with Aatec Services Ltd on an office fit out for Medimmune on Granta Park.

Medimmune's American safety managers visisted the site and decided on the standards that we had to implement.  This included printed RA & MS's for all activities to be signed daily, regular site inspections, tool box talks and stringent PPE requirements.  Throughout the project all staff and contractors involved cooperated with the very high safety requirements and documention.

The site was very well run by Aatec Services Ltd, with the help for Safety provided by us.  This was a 26 week project with 2 safety crane lifts, one involving the air conditioning plant and another an external spiral staircase extension to the roof level.

Throughout the whole project there was no minor or lost time accidents.

Occupational Safety and Health Consultants Register - OSHCR

 

The aim of this register is to help businesses find advice on managing their general health and safety risks. The register is only open to those health and safety consultants who have met certain standards within their professional bodies.

Part of the Government's review of H&S undertaken by Lord Young was that there should be a register for qualified consultants.
The register is now operational and HSW Ltd are pleased to be part of that register in that as Director of HSW Ltd I am on the register.

So now as David Oates CMIOSH CBiol MSB I can use the following logos with my name.
