OHS Outsourcing

Outsourcing is one of the more effective project implementation forms as the delegation of tasks to a specialized organization will shorten the training time, optimize costs and satisfy the main objective which is quick and professional achievement of the assessment criteria. Effective occupational health and safety management not only helps to meet requirements of the applicable laws, but also:
 

• provides employees with proper health protection and safety,
• leads to a reduction in losses relating to accidents at work, work-related illnesses and improper working conditions, and thus promotes the positive company image,
• ensures proper and responsible risk management relating to hazards existing in the enterprise,
• helps employees to understand risks at their workstation, and thus the need to apply appropriate protection equipment,
• results in an increase in labour productivity and work quality.

All employees, including those of the subcontractor, are obliged to be familiar with the OHS regulation and the internal procedures of the company. According to the Regulation of the Minister of Economy and Labour of 27 July 2004 on occupational health and safety trainings (Journal of Laws No. 180, item 1860) all the employees, regardless of their position, seniority or employment form are subject to OHS trainings.

 
Initial training includes general instructions and on-the-job training. In view of a large number and rotation of the employees as well as changing regulations and work conditions the above mentioned regulation was amended in 2007. The amendment clarified, among other things, self-education based on materials provided by the training provider including, in particular, the use of internet. Therefore, the job trainings can be partially conducted in the form of e-learning. With the use of the latest technologies employees can gain or refresh their knowledge in convenient time while the employer does not bear the costs of trainings to be arranged for individual employees.

Moreover, for each workstation, an occupational risk assessment should be carried out based on results of conducted tests and measurements of physical, chemical, biological and other factors present in the work environment.

In view of the above, we offer, among other things:
 

• initial training,
• periodical training,
• development of occupational risk documentation,
• development of a Fire Safety Instruction,
• development of an Explosion Protection Document,
• consultancy on OHS and fire safety,
• assistance in implementation of post-inspection recommendations,
• measurements of harmful factors at the workstation,
• noise measurements,
• lighting measurements,
• microbiological testing,
• microclimate testing.

Under the complex OSH outsourcing services we can also undertake provision of hygiene consumables and personal protective equipment.

In the case of international companies having internal procedures that in some cases significantly exceed the standards set in local law, the requirements for OSH Outsourcing are much higher.

Based on the experience gained during providing services in the field of Environmental Protection and Health and Safety for leading companies in the fuel and construction industry Vicesima has created a tool that allows you to train and verify knowledge for an unlimited number of employees in a very short time.
