RoSPA AWARDS 2017: OTTO SIMON LTD introduced additional control measures to manage all of the hazards identified in our risk assessment process, including the introduction of health screening for all employees. The additional measures implemented for this project are now being rolled out across the rest of British Steel’s operations. The controls put in during project execution were audited by both the client’s Health & Safety Director, who praised the systems in place, the project team leaders, and an LRQA auditor. The LRQA auditor, who also reviewed the systems and people working on site, ultimately recognised Otto Simon’s safety standards with certification to the OHSAS 18001 standard. Ensuring that work is carried out in a safe and controlled manner has opened doors to further contracts. Otto Simon is very proud of the safe delivery of this project, and we are applying our gained experience and lessons learned into our future project delivery plans.
