Safety and Risk Management

Risk is always present in commercial activity but the key to an efficient and safe venture lies in deciding what is an acceptable level of risk

Safety and Risk Management

Research and experience has shown that successful organisations pay close attention to the loss prevention and health and safety aspects of their operations. A robust, accountable and credible risk-assessment process is the most cost-effective way to ensure that appropriate effort is put into these important areas.

WrightWay helps clients understand the compelling business reasons for managing risk and to appreciate how effective control reduces both human and financial losses. Many losses are uninsurable and are met from company profits. The UK insurance industry estimates that uninsured losses can cost a company 10 times their annual premium. It follows that effective assessment of risk is a key component within an organisation’s overall financial strategy.

However, no matter how robust a risk assessment is, it is down to the operator to ensure that they work within the boundaries of that assessment. WrightWay uses practical methods to engage the minds of the people closest to the risks. By presenting them with an everyday task, he/she identify – through discovery learning – the associated hazards, appropriate control measures and can evaluate the risks effectively.

WrightWay works to identify the connection between the company culture and human error. We help clients establish a pro-active safety management system that is fully supported by senior management.
