COMMENTS PROVIDED ABOUT OUR CONSULTANT
"Our work with Adele Wood aimed to provide us with a framework to improve and maintain a safety management system. We were thrilled when Adele’s hard work resulted in an emergency action strategy followed by implementation that was beyond our expectations in terms of the speed with which we accomplished our goal, and the good feedback we received from the HSE."
"What we appreciated most about working with Adele is that she provided us with a framework to maintain our safety management system and constantly improve upon it.’
"Risk assessment is critical to all work places, we all know this, but it’s important to understand it’s not just the hazards you know and directly work with that can effect your labs performance and continuation. We knew how to safely work with venomous animals and what to do in the event of envenomation. We now know how our business can continue to operate in a comprehensive range of situations. The events may be largely beyond our control such as fire in a neighbours building or an influenza pandemic but being prepared isn’t. Getting Risk Protection Solutions Ltd to assess the risk posed by hazards outside our laboratory has opened our eyes to what our business was potentially at risk from and how best to continue, i.e. building a business continuity plan. Such that when our landlord sold the premises and we had to relocate over 400 venomous animals we had a plan in place and Venomtech Ltd continues to thrive in our new location."
"Venomtech have been truly impressed by the services provided as part of the Business Resilience Portfolio from Risk Protection Solutions. The work has focused on business continuity planning, the initial risk assessment was performed in great detail and considered every potential threat to our business and accompanying mitigation strategies needed. Every meeting was managed with upmost efficiency and diligence. The result of this plan has been of immense value to Venomtech. An excellent job well executed with the upmost professionalism and knowledge, as I expected.”
