SAFETY AUDIT

Carrying out a comprehensive safety audit is the only way to know just how safe your workplace is. Through an audit, the effectiveness of current safety protocols can be assessed. Based on the result of the audit, shortcomings and areas of improvement are identified. Corrective measures can then be taken towards optimal workplace safety.

We do the following audits:

  • OSH Audit
  • Risk assessment Audit
  • Fire Safety Audit
  • Noise Survey Audit
  • Air Quality Monitoring
  • Stack Emissions Monitoring
  • Workplace Hygiene Audit

Motire OSHS has Occupational Safety and Health Auditors who are experienced in formulating audit plans, implementing them and then generating comprehensive audit reports.

 

SAFETY TRAINING

A major aspect of ensuring safety in the workplace is equipping each worker with essential occupational safety and health training.

This enables workers to practice safe workplace habits, identify hazards in the workplace and take preventive measures. Additionally how to manage incidences of injury, infection, pollution, fire, etc.

A well-trained workforce is key to enforcing occupational safety policy and contributing to the overall state of well-being in the workplace.

Motire OSHS has expertise in designing and implementing safety training programs including:

  • OSH Training

Each workplace is unique and so we strive to deliver customized training that will address all aspects of occupational safety.

 

OSH COMPLIANCE

The Ministry of Labour and Social Protection through the Directorate of Occupational Safety & Health Services (DOSHS) requires that all workplaces comply to the Occupational safety and health Act 2007.

This gives DOSHS the mandate to inspect workplaces to ensure that safety and health laws are followed. This may involve testing for pollutants, conducting medical examinations of workers, assessing equipment and building plans and so on.

Since industries vary and the safety guidelines are specific to each, it is not uncommon for an organization to overlook some details. Hence the need for approved OSH specialists to advice on occupational safety policy and to work with organization to ensure that every aspect of the safety policy is implemented.

Motire OSHS has vast experience in helping organizations comply with all safety guidelines that the government of Kenya has mandated. To learn more about the Directorate of Occupational Safety & Health Services, have a look at this web page.
