The 'Total Assurance' support package
Combining the `Essential' Support package and the `Proactive' support package, this package brings everything together and some. The Total Assurance support package is for those companies that need on-site support to add that little extra to what they may already have. It may be that your production has increased, demand is creating pressure and existing resource needs to have support beside them. This is where McGeever ltd can really help...
Monthly Site Attendance (1 day)
McGeever Ltd’s retained support contract includes a dedicated monthly site visit, typically lasting one working day. This hands-on service allows our health and safety consultants to directly observe workplace conditions, engage with personnel, and address emerging safety issues in real time.
Proactive oversight: Regular on-site presence ensures a visible commitment to health and safety, fostering a culture of compliance and vigilance among staff and contractors.
Hazard identification: Consultants systematically review all areas of operation, noting any new or recurring hazards and recommending immediate remedial actions.
Incident follow-up: Any accidents, near misses, or reported concerns are investigated on site, with findings fed back to management for continuous improvement.
Practical advice: Direct support is provided to supervisors and staff, addressing questions on safety procedures, emergency protocols, or the use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
Documentation and reporting: A summary report is produced after each visit, recording observations, actions taken, and recommendations for further improvement. This supports audit trails and continuous compliance.
A monthly site attendance is the cornerstone of McGeever Ltd’s support model, ensuring ongoing engagement and immediate response to risks as they develop.
OHSMS Monitoring and Review
The Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) is at the heart of effective health and safety governance. McGeever Ltd provides regular monitoring and review of your OHSMS, ensuring it remains compliant with relevant standards (such as ISO 45001) and is fit for purpose.
Continuous improvement: Consultants analyse system performance using data from audits, inspections, accident reports, and staff feedback, identifying areas for enhancement.
Legislative updates: Any changes in health and safety law, guidance, or best practice are reviewed and incorporated into your OHSMS, minimising the risk of non-compliance.
Policy and procedure review: All documented policies, risk assessments, and safe systems of work are systematically assessed for relevance, effectiveness, and clarity.
Performance metrics: Key performance indicators (KPIs) are tracked and analysed to measure the success of your OHSMS and guide future strategy.
Stakeholder engagement: Staff at all levels are encouraged to contribute to system reviews, ensuring the OHSMS remains practical and widely understood.
Regular monitoring and review of the OHSMS ensures your organisation’s health and safety efforts are evidence-based, targeted, and consistently improving.
Subcontractor Management System Review
Robust subcontractor management is essential for organisations that rely on external contractors or specialist trades. McGeever Ltd’s service includes a thorough review of your subcontractor management systems to protect project outcomes and legal compliance.
Pre-engagement checks: Verification that subcontractors hold appropriate qualifications, certifications, and insurance for their roles.
Risk assessment integration: Ensuring subcontractors are incorporated into site-specific risk assessments and have demonstrated awareness of health and safety protocols.
Induction and training: Review of induction procedures, safety briefings, and ongoing training provided to subcontractor personnel.
Performance monitoring: Systems for ongoing oversight of subcontractor work, including audit trails, spot checks, and feedback mechanisms.
Compliance assurance: Confirmation that subcontractors are meeting legislative and contractual health and safety requirements.
McGeever Ltd’s review of subcontractor management systems safeguards your organisation against reputational, legal, and operational risks associated with external labour.
Supply Chain Risk Assessment Review
The health and safety risks associated with your supply chain can be complex and far-reaching. McGeever Ltd offers a comprehensive review of supply chain risk assessments to identify potential vulnerabilities and strengthen controls.
Supplier risk profiling: Assessment of suppliers based on their operational risks, compliance history, and capacity to meet health and safety standards.
Risk mitigation strategies: Review of how risks are identified, controlled, and monitored throughout the supply chain, from procurement to delivery.
Contingency planning: Evaluation of plans for managing supply chain disruptions, such as shortages, delays, or incidents impacting safety.
Integrated compliance: Ensuring that health and safety requirements are embedded in supplier contracts and service level agreements (SLAs).
Audit and feedback: Systems for ongoing audit of supplier performance and processes for receiving and acting on feedback from supply chain partners.
A diligent supply chain risk assessment review by McGeever Ltd helps to ensure that upstream risks do not jeopardise your organisation’s safety record or compliance status.
Pre-Qualification Questionnaire Assistance
Many organisations are required to complete Pre-Qualification Questionnaires (PQQs) as part of tendering for contracts, particularly in high-risk sectors. McGeever Ltd provides targeted assistance to ensure your responses demonstrate a robust approach to health and safety.
Documentation support: Guidance on compiling the necessary evidence, such as policies, training logs, and accident records.
Compliance demonstration: Help in articulating your organisation’s compliance with health and safety legislation and best practice standards.
Value-add responses: Crafting answers that not only meet the minimum requirements but also highlight the strengths and innovation in your approach.
Gap analysis: Identification of areas where further improvement or documentation may be needed to secure tender success.
Timely submission: Project management oversight to ensure your PQQ is completed and submitted within deadlines, reducing the risk of missed opportunities.
McGeever Ltd’s PQQ assistance helps you to confidently present your organisation’s health and safety credentials, enhancing your prospects in competitive procurement environments.
