Planning & Redevelopment Advice

While risk is ever-present and requires on-going management, it is possible to design risks out of the workplace. We've been doing it for a few centuries now, although the pace of change is evr increasing. Assembly lines, automation, computerisation and even air-condiioning and better lighting have made a big difference to both Safety and Productivity.

As your business looks to move into new premises or re-fit existing spaces, there is a huge opportunity to harness these Productivity and Safety improvements. Equally, there are huge cost benefits to realised by getting things 'right the first time' as this can avoid rectifying costly errors and over-sights, as well as 'future-proofing' your business and delaying the next upgrade your enterprise requires.

Planning and Redevlopment is a big process and often involves a significant financial investment. As such, it should also have a big investment in planning time, which in all cases should involve a high level of research and wide consultation, both inside and outside your organisation.Safe Hands are in a psoition to offer you high quality advice in relation to manual handling and ergonomic risks and how to design them out of workspaces.

Design Matters

It matters a great deal. Otherwise you could by-pass the expensive but valuable services of Architects and Engineers. But is their focus broad enough for your needs?

Experience tells us that it is not. Engineers are focussed on whether or not the building will stand up. Architects are more focussed on the aesthetics than the functionality of design, and are reluctant to go beyond the Australian Standards, the recommended minimum standard for design. This is where the over-sight occurs.

Safe Hands can provide advice that fills some of those gaps. We are experienced in designing out manual handling and ergonomic risk while maintaining a focus on functionality and workflows.
