Permit-To-Work Systems

 

A Permit to Work forms part of a written Safe System of Work. It allows work to start only after safe procedures have been defined and they provide a clear record that all foreseeable hazards have been considered and methods of control have been implemented.

PPE

In the hierarchy of risk mitigation PPE is the last resort when a risk cannot be removed or mitigated by other measures. This means that the PPE we at Compass UK & Ireland provide to our teams must be fit for purpose, which not only means providing the correct levels of protection, but is also practicable and comfortable, so that colleagues can carry out their tasks safely. This new PPE catalogue builds on the work we carried out ahead on the previous version, introducing new lines which we hope will achieve that dual aim of protection and comfort. This is an ever evolving topic, so if you have feedback, that would be welcomed as would any items you think are missing from it.
