Monitoring or measuring performance is an essential aspect of management. Strengths and weaknesses need to be identified and progress measured.

Progressive improvement in health and safety can only be achieved through the constant development of policies, approaches to implementation and techniques of risk control. Measuring is therefore essential to the maintenance and improvement of your health and safety performance.

Health and safety performance must be monitored at all levels from day-to-day monitoring by Managers and Supervisors to more detailed periodic independent monitoring. 

Performance management techniques fall into two broad categories:

• Reactive monitoring that monitors accidents, ill health and incidents.
• Pro-active monitoring that measures the effective management system and extent of compliance with standards and achievement plans.

Regular monitoring is essential to ensure that hazards are being controlled in accordance with the risk assessments and safe systems of work.

Stakeholders need to be able to demonstrate an effective monitoring system when required by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) or Insurers.

JMS Risk Solutions Ltd are able to undertake regular inspections of the Company's workplace or construction sites at predetermined intervals to identify uncontrolled hazards and reporting upon the corrective action required.

These regular independent inspections would go along way towards satisfying the HSE or your Insurers enquiries.
