Ongoing support
General Occupational Safety Support.
An outsourced safety function for your business, all year round: regular site visits, day-to-day advice, and the documentation to back it up, without the cost of a full-time in-house specialist.
The problem
Safety can't be nobody's job, but it doesn't need to be a full-time one either.
Most small and mid-sized businesses don't have the volume of risk, or the budget, to justify hiring a full-time, in-house safety specialist. But that leaves a gap: without a steady point of contact, safety work tends to happen in bursts, right before an audit, or right after something has already gone wrong, instead of continuously, in the background, where it actually prevents problems.
General Occupational Safety Support closes that gap. It's a standing arrangement, not a one-off project.
What's covered
What an ongoing arrangement actually includes.
On-site & advisory
- Regular site visits, on a schedule that fits your business
- Ongoing advice to management and supervisors on day-to-day safety questions
- Practical advice on safety equipment and PPE purchasing decisions
- Support organising emergency and evacuation arrangements, escape routes and evacuation drills at an organisational level
Organisation & documentation
- Setting up and maintaining your safety organisation, who's responsible for what, written down and actually assigned, not just assumed
- Review of incidents and near-misses, so the same thing doesn't happen twice
- Keeping core safety documentation current, rather than reconstructed under pressure before an audit
- A consistent record of what's been checked, advised, and changed over time
This is also the umbrella arrangement the other, more specific services can sit inside of, the Ergonomics Course, Risk Assessment, Psychosocial Risk Assessment, Training & Instructions, Health Management, and ISO 45001 Support are all covered in the full list of services. Businesses that want one consistent safety partner, rather than a series of separate bookings, typically build this ongoing arrangement around them.
How it starts
How an ongoing arrangement gets set up.
Scope your safety needs
We talk through your business, site, and current safety set-up during a free consultation, so we understand what's actually needed.
Agree a visit schedule & scope
We settle on a realistic rhythm of site visits and which parts of the coverage above apply to you, in writing.
Ongoing site visits & advice
Visits happen on schedule, and you have a direct point of contact for questions in between.
Continuous documentation & review
Documentation, incident review, and the safety organisation stay current instead of being rebuilt from scratch before every audit.
Questions
About General Occupational Safety Support
It depends on the size of your business and your risk profile. There's no fixed number we apply to everyone, we agree a schedule and scope together during the free consultation, and revisit it if your needs change.
No. It's an external, flexible alternative. You get a consistent point of contact for safety without taking on a full-time headcount, and the scope can scale up or down as your business changes.
Yes. The scope is agreed with you at the outset, and it's normal to start narrow, one visit, one review, and expand the arrangement once you know how it fits your business.
You can reach Frozenworks directly by phone or email between visits. Incidents are also reviewed as part of the ongoing support, so they get looked at properly rather than waiting for the next scheduled date.
