Helping manufacturing businesses succeed
Working in manufacturing means daily deadlines and targets. And when you’re trying to boost productivity, you don’t always have time to shift through paperwork and policies.
That’s why we’re here to help. You can outsource your HR and health & safety to our consultants and get expert advice whenever you like.
Manufacturing can be a risky business
From fire risks to dangerous substances, it can feel like you’re always juggling risks in the manufacturing industry.
In fact, 13.5% of all annual fatal injuries take place in the manufacturing industry.
When accidents happen, the legal responsibility lies with the employer – so it’s important to do all you can to prevent any risks.
With so many hazards to consider, Peninsula is here to make life easy. Our health & safety experts can support your risk assessments, write your health & safety policies, and provide you 24/7 advice – whenever you need it.
AFF is currently 80% compliant and we are confident that we will be 100% soon. The Peninsula BSO system has played a major part in achieving this with the writing of risk assessments and the resources available in relation to documentation. Toby has assisted and advised in the writing of a number of policies and procedures and provides a valuable review of anything that I have written myself.
Since our partnership with Peninsula, accidents have dropped by 50% with active hazard reporting increasing by 250%. There is a marked change in the H&S culture at AFF, with good lines of communication across the business and the Peninsula BSO system plays a major part in this success. We have a long way to go but have come a long way in a short period of time and I am sure that this was due to our partnership with Peninsula.
