Organisational Audits
Whilst each commission is tailored to your needs there are a number of key steps undertaken with each visit: gap analysis, risk profiling, strategic input and advice on best practice.
A complete health and safety audit will highlight areas for improvement, will draw attention to instances of best practice and will lay the foundation for continuous safety improvement.
Review health and safety performance
A formal health and safety audit, as recommended by the HSE’s Plan Do Check Act model, should help you understand how your health and safety management systems can be measured, whether risks are being controlled effectively and will highlight areas that require attention.
- Examine whether your health and safety policy reflects the organisation’s current priorities, plans and targets.
- Ensure risk management and other health and safety systems have been effectively reported to the board.
- Decide actions to address any weaknesses and a system to monitor their implementation.

Cultural and behavioural analysis
A key element to improving safety culture is involving your workforce in the health and safety decision-making process. For this to happen, your workforce needs to be engaged and informed of the benefits of working safely. They should also be prepared to report mistakes, near misses and accidents.
Callidus can provide a comprehensive cultural and behavioural analysis, which will help you to improve attitudes to safety, which in turn lowers the number of accidents, reduces lost days due to illness and improves overall performance.
Promoting a positive safety culture
Attitudes towards health and safety can often be negative and we know that the challenge lies in shifting this attitude to one that more accurately reflects ‘modern day health and safety’. Callidus are highly experienced in achieving improved engagement in companies of all sizes.

- Assessing their current arrangements
