EXPERTISE

Whether within the company or in relation to matters of health, safety and working conditions, everything has a legal dimension.

CLIENT CASE STUDY

An example of our work: rethinking health and safety procedures

Background: an audit of prevention plans requested following a fatal accident

Action: FACTORHY:

• carried out an audit of the prevention plans and a single risk assessment document
• proposed solutions for improvement
• identified the causes of the fatal accident, unrelated to the formal prevention plans or the single risk assessment document, through the complete absence of on-site controls by the companies operating at an enormous industrial site
• proposed a specific repositioning of a number of employees responsible for safety, to move from process-led safety management to safety management through on-site controls

Result: a fall in the rate of workplace accidents and occupational diseases
