As one of the most risk-prone industries, health and safety in manufacturing is vital, but when you are busy meeting tight deadlines and running a factory, health and safety considerations often get relegated to the ‘to-do’ list. Unfortunately, over the last five years, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) estimates 22 fatalities and over 3,000 major injuries in the manufacturing industry. Thankfully, Avensure can help. We carry out a full manufacturing risk assessment on your factory and help you put in place all the procedures and safeguards needed to keep your workers safe and your site legal.
Mitigate risks & hazards with Avensure’s health and safety manufacturing advice and consulting
Maintaining health and safety in manufacturing environments might seem like an impossible target given the risk of fire, injuries from heavy fabrication machinery, and the presence of dangerous chemicals. However, meeting factory health and safety regulations does not mean eliminating all risks and hazards. Preventative action is needed to reduce the likelihood of an accident occurring and reduce the severity of an injury caused by accident. For example, health and safety for factory workers include clear floor markings around a fabrication machine can reduce the chance that someone will stand too close to the active machinery, and wearing safety goggles and gloves while handling chemicals can reduce the severity of injury in the event of a spill. As an employer, safety in manufacturing plants is your responsibility and failing to take the proper steps to mitigate risks can lead to legal action, fines from HSE or even your employees taking you to an employment tribunal. When you partner with Avensure, you get easy-to-understand manufacturing health and safety advice to help you identify and mitigate risks and hazards in your factory.
