Pandemic warning: don’t let safety standards slip
“The coronavirus pandemic is not an excuse to let health safety and environmental standards slip,” says the British Safety Council.
The British Safety Council has made radical changes to its processes to ensure that organisations can still access the information and resources they need to maintain and develop high standards of health and safety practices during the Coronavirus lockdown.
In major changes to the delivery of health and safety audits, the British Safety Council has launched a new two-phased approach to its ISO 45001 and 14001 certification audits, together with its unique suite of 5-star best practice audit services. British Safety Council’s world class auditors can now carry out the first stage of the audits remotely. This will enable organisations to proceed with planned or newly required audits before the easing of lockdown restrictions. Similarly, remote consultancy services are also now available. Both remote audit and consultancy services are using similar technology, meaning that you can have confidential and structured verbal and visual conversations with experts whenever convenient.
Speaking from his home office today, the Chief Executive of the British Safety Council, Mike Robinson said: “During these uncertain times it is important that we back our members and the public in any way we can. We are proud to offer these remote services to support organisations maintain high health and safety standards throughout this difficult time. It’s not helpful to speculate as to when the current restrictions will be eased, but we want to help our members and customers get ahead and maintain the high standards they have achieved.”
