Administrative Health and Safety

By Jacquot health & Safety

Administrative Health and Safety Services

Administrative health and safety services are a core part of occupational health and safety. We apply the principles of ISO 45001:2018, including the PDCA cycle (Plan–Do–Check–Act), across all our training and monitoring.

Administrative health and safety services procedures documentation

We provide three types of training:

  • Induction training — tailored to the specific work area, as requested by the facility’s responsible officers
  • General training — broader OHS awareness training for individuals across the site
  • Specific training — focused training matched to each of our risk assessment services

We also provide the following administrative health and safety services:

  • Active monitoring — safety tours, inspections, sampling, and surveying
  • Safe systems of work — implementation of written procedures
  • Risk assessments — covering fire, confined space, noise, and other hazards
  • Permit to work systems — covering fire, confined space, lockout/tagout, and work at height
  • Health and safety management system support
  • Toolbox talks
  • Emergency readiness preparations
  • Safety culture development
  • Reactive monitoring — investigation of incidents and near misses
  • Remedial OHS training — following identification of unsafe actions, behavior, or incidents

Note: our training is practical, not academic — we don’t issue institutional certificates. Instead, our focus is equipping individuals and teams with the OHS knowledge they need for the workplaces we manage.

Risk Assessment & Permits to Work

As a result, we assign each risk assessment to the team member with the most relevant experience and expertise for that specific hazard type.

Our administrative health and safety risk assessment and permit to work services currently cover four areas:

  • Fire — risk assessment, permit to work, and trained fire watch
  • Confined space — risk assessment, permit to work, and trained tank watch
  • Work at height — risk assessment and permit to work
  • Lockout/Tagout — risk assessment and permit to work

Emergency Readiness Preparations

To prepare for this, our team draws on professionals with diverse backgrounds and expertise to prepare emergency responses that are efficient, fast, and appropriate to each task.

Where needed, we provide all essential equipment for emergency evacuation.

Our qualified tank and fire watch personnel — trained directly by us — are briefed to immediately alert the right people in an emergency, following the procedures set out in the safe systems of work.

Occupational Health and Safety: Reactive Monitoring

As part of our administrative health and safety services, we investigate:

  • Near misses
  • Incidents
  • Accidents
  • Unhealthy condition reports
  • Unsafe condition reports
  • Reports of unsafe behavior

Investigation methodology:

  1. Immediate action — providing medical aid, restricting access to the area, and gathering essential information for further data collection
  2. Plan the investigation — identifying who will investigate and which information sources to assess
  3. Data collection — interviews, photographs, observations, permits to work, and other evidence
  4. Data analysis — identifying latent and active failures using methods such as Why Tree and Fault Tree analysis
  5. Corrective actions — prioritizing control measures, agreeing on objectives, setting a timescale, and following up on progress
  6. Reporting — reporting our findings and recommendations to those in charge

Finally, we also identify:

  • Immediate causes
  • Underlying causes
  • Root causes
