Unfortunately, the manufacturing sector has one of the highest amounts of death and serious incidents which often happen as a result of business owners seeing health and safety as a box ticking exercise. This could not be further than the truth.

Many manufacturing workers get seriously ill from workplace exposures and also get injured from workplace equipment and machinery which often comes as a result of a lack of training or assistance.

Safe operating procedures – also known as SOP – should include the basics steps that are clear to read and identify with. They should also include step by step instructions with photos and diagrams included where it makes sense to do so. Hazard identification should also be outlined which should be followed by document control methods and reviews at least once per year.

Although audits can be completed internally, it is highly recommend to professional consultants and services just like ours to ensure you are fully compliant as we have the attention to detail that you require.

Risk assessment plays a bit part in our health and safety audits that we carry out in the manufacturing sector.

Gary came to my Osteopathic CPD group on 10th October 2020 on a zoom seminar. This was to give us reassurance of the health and safety procedures we have put in place for Covid 19. Gary readily and kindly agreed, giving an excellent well prepared presentation and easily with expert knowledge answered all our questions. I also found it very reassuring and helpful as he showed the dentistry and physiotherapy risk assessments he had implemented . The presentation helped to give confidence and reassurance to myself and osteopathic colleagues, that we have implemented the correct procedures of health and safety with full PPE and professional duty of care. Also Gary has been to my practice and brought all my professional policies of duty up to date. Fire Safety, Risk assessment, pathways for my practitioner team due to Covid. What a relief to have all this help and support, so all is professionally and expertly documented to give me peace of mind so I can concentrate on my work. Thank you so much and I will certainly recommend you most Highly.

“I became aware of Gary when he was being assessed for two Wamitab qualifications of Level 4 (High Risk Operator Competence for Managing Transfer of Hazardous Waste) and (High Risk Operator Competence for Managing Physical and Chemical Treatment of Hazardous Waste). His Assessor drew my attention to him and suggested that he would make a good assessor. I took an interest in his portfolio and found it to be well above average. I would be pleased to have Gary as an assessor through adversity he maintained a dignified attitude. His personal qualities included having a calm demeanour, good communicative skills and traditional values.”

"As a small business, it can be hard to find a trusted partner for H&S. The safety of our team is paramount, though spiralling costs were a concern. Gary perfectly understood the reality of being an SME and tailored and delivered a H&S package and Covid-19 audit, that fitted perfectly in our organisation (and our budget), with a sensible and effective approach."
The Goodlife Outdoor CompanyManaging Director
Our business has faced many new challenges due to the Covid-19 situation. With ever changing guidelines and with such important things at stake, we needed help and assurances that we were doing everything we needed to do as an employer to protect staff and protect the business. BSS performed a workplace audit for us and also provided so much useful information and resources to assist the business with our new fluid workforce requirement. After spending time with us in the office, BSS sent us a comprehensive action plan that we used to make our place of work safe. Gary’s clearly an experienced professional as his delivery method made it easy for us to understand a situation that’s previously done nothing but confuse us. We now have confidence that we have done what is required and we have shown that we are a responsible employer which is so important for us. The process was very efficient and all the paperwork arrived within days, as promised by BSS. We highly recommend BSS to all small businesses who want peace of mind about the safety of their offices and home working for staff.
