Site surveillance
Site surveillance is an important tool to ensure and demonstrate that your company is delivering what it says it does in its safety management system. ISS can offer the service of independent site inspections. These can be undertaken as announced or unannounced visits. Following an inspection, the client is informed of any non-compliance or deviations from the policy that were detected on site. Where practicable, ISS will offer advice and assistance to rectify any non-conformance during the site inspection.
A full report is supplied to the client detailing any outstanding actions and/or recommendations for improvement. ISS will work with its clients to ensure that they achieve their aspirations.
Site inspections assist in demonstrating a company’s commitment to health and safety. They can be used in a positive way as evidence, when bidding for work or completing PQQ’s.

As part of this process, ISS will provide training needs analysis, should a training requirement become apparent during these investigations.
