Benefits To Your Business

Commercial Benefit

At EnviroSafety Solutions we believe the prime reason for organisations to improve their health, safety and environmental performance is commercial - to be attractive to their clients and internally retain and recruit the best skill set in their employees.

By presenting the client with a professional and well-managed team with a good historical performance in safety and the environment, your client is going to see that you present less of a risk to his business than your competitors. Your client has similar pressures to you – he has to satisfy the demands of shareholders or other regulators. The easier you make it for him to satisfy them, the better and longer a relationship you can have with him.

Why implement them together?
EnviroSafety Solutions is the only consultancy focusing equally on the commercial benefits of safety and the environment. The benefits of using this joined up approach include: Time and cost savings and Integrated systems – no duplication

Tendering

Most clients only work with approved contractors. They have to demonstrate that they are employing competent people and therefore make contractors jump through hoops to get on the approved list. The contractors feel it is worthwhile because they want to work with these prestigious clients.

Nevertheless, completing pre-qualification questionnaires is a thankless task, especially when you don’t have all the answers. You may embellish a few facts or make some up, hoping that the client has no reason to find out the real story.

More and more clients are turning to independent assessment bodies to assess the competence of contractors they want to employ. They may insist you are registered with SAFEcontractor or CHAS or Constructionline etc (go to a page where I explain each of these schemes). Some clients have even set up their own audit scheme managed by Achilles Information, to independently assess the competence of their contractors in many areas including ethics and recruitment procedures. Wouldn’t it be good if all clients were happy with one scheme or if all pre-qualification questionnaires were the same?!

EnviroSafety Solutions can firstly help you develop and implement combined safety and environmental systems that enable you to meet the requirements of these schemes.

Secondly we can help you complete these forms, understanding and explaining what they are really after and providing them with the evidence they need. We can partner with you on tenders, helping you develop your submissions and acting as part of your team, attending pre-contract client meetings if required.
