Supporting a Growing Security Company
The Challenge
As a security services company expanded to five employees, it recognised the need for professional health and safety support to meet its legal responsibilities and growing client requirements.
The business lacked formal health and safety documentation, documented risk assessments, employee training records and an appointed health and safety advisor.
Seguro’s Solution
Seguro Health and Safety provided an ongoing Safety Consultant Service to help the company establish a structured, security specific health and safety management system.
The support included:
- Developing a tailored Health and Safety Policy.
- Creating security-specific risk assessments and safe working procedures.
- Improving lone working, manual handling, vehicle and site safety arrangements.
- Establishing accident reporting procedures and employee induction records.
- Providing ongoing health and safety advice and support with client compliance requirements.
Seguro also arranged employee training in manual handling, fire safety awareness, conflict management awareness, basic first aid and health and safety awareness.
A training register was introduced to help monitor employee training and identify refresher requirements.
The Results
With Seguro’s support, the company implemented a more structured approach to health and safety management.
Key outcomes included:
- Tailored health and safety documentation and procedures.
- Improved employee training records and competency monitoring.
- Better arrangements for managing workplace risks.
- Ongoing access to professional health and safety advice.
- Greater confidence in demonstrating health and safety arrangements to commercial clients.
