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 persons working in the area.
