Service Profile

Put Safety Into the Way the Job Is Done.

ECM supports workplace inspections, risk assessments, safety programmes and contractor coordination. We help supervisors and teams understand the hazards in their work, the controls required and who is responsible for putting them into practice.

We review site requirements and working practices, then help document controls, brief the people involved and track agreed actions. Inspections and incident reviews show where those arrangements need further attention.

Occupational Safety Support

  • Health and safety consulting, programmes, workplace inspections and risk assessments
  • Safety files, system implementation and legislative compliance reviews
  • Incident investigation, reporting and emergency response planning
  • Toolbox talks, team training, contractor management and safety reporting

The final scope, approach and deliverables are agreed with you before work begins.

Health and Safety: Control the Hazard

On smaller screens, scroll across the diagram to read each step.

An inverted hierarchy ranks elimination, substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls and personal protective equipment from generally most to least effective. Elimination removes the hazard at source. Substitution replaces it and requires review of new risks. A separate assessment and review loop supports selecting, combining and checking controls; it does not require choosing only one tier.

What We Do

Connect the Safety System to the Workplace.

Understand Workplace Hazards

Use workplace inspections and risk assessments to identify exposure in the actual task and working environment. Prioritise the controls and follow-up actions with the people responsible for the work.

Build the Working System

Develop safety programmes, files and procedures around the client and site requirements. Clarify employer, employee and contractor responsibilities, including relevant emergency arrangements.

Investigate and Learn

Support incident investigation and reporting so corrective actions address what happened and why. Review whether a lesson should change a procedure, a control or the way a task is supervised.

Keep Safety Visible

Toolbox talks, contractor coordination and regular reporting help teams discuss current risks. Review actions and control effectiveness rather than treating document completion as the end of the work.

The Work Explained

Plan, Do, Check, Act in the Workplace

Safer Daily Work

  1. Plan

    Identify hazards, assess risks and agree controls.

  2. Do

    Brief the team and put the controls into practice.

  3. Check

    Inspect the work and review incidents and action records.

  4. Act

    Correct gaps and update the working arrangements.

Safety management is a continuing cycle. Changes in people, equipment or the task can require a fresh look at risk.
