Professional Solutions and Peace of Mind

Before diving into the policy or procedure preparation MINC Risk Services will spend time understanding your business, looking at the different divisions or types of work, identifying the various suppliers and client types. Once comfortable with our knowledge and after consultation with you we shall determine the measurement, reporting and monitoring requirements. All of this information is then used to determine which of the ISO & OHSAS system elements should be addressed.

Once outlined we are ready to begin.

A particularly important aspect of any progressive, forward thinking, business! Policies should capture the Company Vision, Direction and Operational Intent of not only the Senior Management but the desired working environment of staff.

MINC Risk Services have considerable experience in helping organisations establish cultural change by working with all business stakeholders and interested parties.

The Policy documents should become a working guideline for all parties to gain an understanding of business. If implemented correctly they become much more than just a framed statement hanging on the office wall. With MINC Risk Services we will not just “do the fishing for you, we will show you how to fish”, with the reasons, and benefits behind the system. It therefore becomes a much more powerful tool than an off the shelf do-it yourself package.
