The SafePlus Assessment Process

01

Initial Consultation

Our process begins with an initial consultation to understand your organisation's unique needs and current health and safety practices. This helps us tailor the assessment to provide the most relevant and effective recommendations.
02

Onsite Assessment

During the onsite assessment, we conduct in-depth conversations with employees and managers at all levels. This holistic approach helps uncover factors that promote or hinder safe working practices.
03

Comprehensive Evaluation

We evaluate three key elements of your health and safety system:
  • Leadership: Assessing the commitment and involvement of leadership in promoting health and safety.
  • Risk Management: Evaluating the effectiveness of identifying, assessing, and controlling workplace risks.
  • Worker Engagement: Examining the extent of worker involvement and communication in health and safety practices.
We also take a deep dive into three critical risks that you have identified with us during the initial consultation.
04

Performance Maturity Scale

Your organisation's health and safety capabilities are assessed against a maturity scale, categorised into three stages:
  • Developing: Initial stages of health and safety practices.
  • Performing: Meeting standard health and safety requirements effectively.
  • Leading: Exemplary practices that exceed standard requirements.
05

Tailored Recommendations, Follow-Up and Support

Based on the assessment, we provide specific, actionable recommendations to help you advance to the next stage of maturity. Our experts guide you through the implementation process, ensuring continuous improvement.

Our commitment doesn't end with the assessment. We offer ongoing support and follow-up assessments to help you maintain and enhance your health and safety standards over time.
