Riverside are one of the leading registered providers of social housing in the UK, providing support and affordable housing to people of all ages and circumstances. The Company provides responsive repair and maintenance services.
The MD Safety Management brief has been to assist in all levels of operations be it from maintenance divisions (planned and reactive) to construction project operations to ensure that Health and Safety Management is at the heart of the supply chain.
On-going Management Services
MD Safety Management initially developed a comprehensive Health and Safety Policy and a suite of Risk Assessments and Method Statements to cover all of the different trade areas comprising the Company operations such as Plumbing, Joinery, Gas, Electric, Glazing, Fencing, Roofing, Plastering, Brickwork, etc.
On-going consultancy has resulted in expanding the Management System to include a Health and Safety Handbook for Employees and other documentation fulfilling the legal requirements for Information and as well as providing on-going specific Health and Safety Training for Asbestos Awareness, Working at Height, Manual Handling and Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) (i.e. Face Fit Testing).
In expanding our range of services we were able to assist in the Company's requirements to demonstrate their management of their operations over a number of areas.
