Date of review 27 /03 /2012

Conclusions I sincerely thank management for giving a nice opportunity to inspect an ongoing site. It is highly appreciated by the workforce when enquired about the well being and also congratulates and appreciates management for taking step forward towards positive safety culture. I observed various range of hazards from low risks to high risks and given necessary input to management, I am also happy to notice few good practices followed in the work site and I sincerely appreciate management for their effort. It is advised that the recommendations included in this report are implemented in order to improve health & safety and aid legal compliance. All improvements should be monitored and reviewed to establish effectiveness. There are financial costs involved to implement these health + safety improvements within this department which are detailed in this report. Long term financial costs can be built into future departmental budgets Although as previously mentioned in this report there are a number of health and safety issues that cause concern, overall the site is generally well run and with very little cost it would be able to become an excellent example of health and safety practice which could be shared throughout. To ensure that staff and users feel that health and safety is priority within the site I would recommend a general programme of inspections and awareness initiatives by management, this will help to demonstrate a positive health and safety culture. This is especially important with young person’s working in the area.
