Specialist consulting for special risks
Securex goes beyond the legally mandated obligations for safety in the workplace. We know that certain working conditions have specific risks associated with them and develop unique safety precautions to reduce or eliminate those risks.
Working in enclosed spaces
An enclosed space can have various dimensions – small or large volume – such as road and rail containers, storage reservoirs, sewage, cesspit, etc. The entrance might be a narrow opening, such as a manhole, etc.
In such an enclosed space special risks are a major factor to be considered: lack of oxygen, or the danger of explosions, for example. What’s more, you will regularly have to access these spaces in the context of repair and maintenance work. Another issue related to the size of such spaces: the lack of access. Rapid evacuation or rescue in the event of an incident will not be easy.
With a trained eye, Securex will help you to deal with the special risks associated with enclosed spaces:
- We draw up a procedure to entering the space and develop a system of permits for the people who enter the space.
- We train the people who have to go into the space and the safety personnel.
- We make recommendations on the detectors and the personal protection equipment that is necessary.
Fire prevention
The consequences of a fireare often disproportionately large: serious injuries, emotional trauma, financial dramas.
Securex helps to reduce the potential causes and the consequences of fire in your company. We have developed a training programme based on real-life situations to teach your employees:
- common causes of fire;
- how fire develops;
- how they can extinguish a fire quickly and effectively;
- how to evacuate quickly and effectively;
- what the symbols near the extinguishers and the escape routes mean.
Working in an environment with an explosion risk
There are explosion risks associated with some machines and preventive measures are of the greatest importance.
Securex helps you to manage that risk:
- We determine whether there is an explosion risk.
- We help to prepare a proper, safe zone plan for your buildings.
- We prepare safety instructions.
- We write the explosion-safety documentation.
- We train your personnel using our unique behaviour-based approach.
Personal protective equipment
Safety boots, helmets, gloves, and goggles are some of the protective equipment that can significantly reduce the seriousness of injury in the event of an occupational accident. A certain degree of expertise is required to determine which protective equipment is required for a particular situation.
Securex is expert in personal protective equipment and we can assist you in ensuring that they are used optimally in your company:
- We prepare a list of protective equipment that could make a difference in your company.
- We prepare instructions for the proper use of the equipment: when, who, how;
- We train employees and make them aware of the importance of safety equipment.
Personal protective equipment is only effective if it is actually used. That is why we pay a lot of attention to developing practical tips and we point out the need for real changes in attitude and behaviour to your employees.
