Risk management – the foundation for industrial health and safety
Recent prosecutions show that it is not enough to have a well documented health and safety system. Executives, boards and workers need assurance that the health and safety system is working in practice.
Navigatus helps clients to assure that their health and safety systems are managing risks to an appropriate level through rigorous evidence-based assessment.
The main benefits of this approach are:
- benchmarking gives the organisation a clear understanding of risk management maturity
- the process provides clarity, identifying actionable opportunities for improvement that will lift safety performance to the next level
- applying a comprehensive approach ensures that every important aspect is evaluated
The Navigatus Difference
At Navigatus we bring a risk management lens to our health and safety services. That means that we attend to potentially catastrophic incidents as well as the more common incidents that typically draw attention through their quantity. Experience shows that is catastrophic incidents that profoundly affect organisations and personnel at all levels.
