Testimonials for Hastam in General

LogoUnderstanding of Health and Safety Management

I had the opportunity earlier this year (2011) to work with Hastam and receive some mentoring from Dr Tony Boyle during employment with a Community Health Services Trust (NHS).

Prior to working with Tony I felt I had a firm grasp of managing health and safety, particularly in the areas of policy development, incident investigation and risk assessment. However, I soon realised that was not the case!

Tony challenged me and my colleagues about our understanding of health and safety management, our interpretation of legislation and our application of good practice.

My colleagues and I found that, although we are intelligent, educated and well qualified in health and safety, we weren't transferring the skills and knowledge we had in order to improve the systems we had in place in our organisation. We followed the corporate culture of policy for policy sake (at least 80 pages!), whilst trying to promote HSG65 through training delivery and completion of audits (what we called audits!). Additionally, our methods of incident investigation were lacking, and our risk assessment procedures didn't exist beyond providing documents for all types of risk, eg DSE, manual handling and stress.

Working with Tony helped us to look at our management system using BS OHSAS 18001 (not how any of us had been originally trained to use BS OHSAS 18001!), and make massive improvements whilst simplifying health and safety management.

I feel my time with Tony was not long enough, and, having started employment with a new company I look forward to some further mentoring. It was a fabulous experience and an honour.

Total Produce UKHealth & Safety for Senior Management Courses for Total Produce UK
June 2010, September 2011, March 2011

The Health and Safety for Senior Management Courses provided by Hastam were of great value in helping to drive the focus of health and safety leadership through our organisation. The subject-matter was highly relevant and was reinforced by thought provoking break-out sessions and guided discussions. The courses were well received by all delegates without exception. I would recommend this course to anyone with health and safety leadership responsibilities.

I would like to extend our thanks to Dr Tony Boyle for his efforts on our behalf.

An excellent review of our progress in implementing recommendations of a previous audit giving us reassurance on our achievements while at the same time encouraging us to adopt more of the 18001 approach to improve standards further.
