Testimonials

The following testimonials provide 3 examples of how companies with differing risks and priorities are utilising Paradigm in 2011:

 


 

Example 1 is a medium sized fabrication company:

  1. Initial HSE gap analysis (1.5 days)
  2. Development of a business risk register (1.5 days)
  3. Development of  a legal register (HSE consents, regulations, obligations and licences) (2 days)
  4. Conduct HSE training analysis (1 day)
  5. Development of an HSE plan and KPI's (1 day)
  6. Development of an HSE policy and SMS (2 days )
  7. Training course 1 (1 day)
  8. Training course 2 (2 x ½ day courses)
  9. Annual governance  / assurance audit (1 day)

 As a company we made a conscious decision to re-evaluate our HSE arrangements in 2011. We don’t have a full time HSE resource, therefore the question was who, how and what. We chose Paradigm’s Support and Advice Line PLUS Package© as we felt that it would provide us with a cost effective solution together with a degree of independent assurance - both key elements that we were looking for. What Paradigm bring to the table is a level of HSE specialism and competence that organisations such as ourselves typically don’t have. Their approach has proved invaluable in helping us identify our blind spots. In terms of value for money, the 2 days bespoke training for 16 people alone would ordinarily have cost us in excess of £4k. Using Paradigm won’t cost us any more money; we will be getting more support and will be in better shape!  Managing Director



Example 2 is a medium sized construction company:

  1. Development of a business risk register (1 day)
  2. Overhaul of the management system (1 day)
  3. 2 separate meetings with the clients (1 day)
  4. Development of a CDM HSE plan (2 days)
  5. Development of a complex lift plan (1 day)
  6. Site workforce HSE induction (1 day  - 4 sessions)
  7. Training courses (2 days)
  8. Site inspections (2 days)
  9. Spare date held for emergent issues (1 day)

In the past we have struggled to employ one HSE resource which would meet all our needs. Paradigm’s Support and Advice Line PLUS Package© will give us access to competent HSE advice and support without the expense of having to employ several people full-time. They will be providing us with targeted training covering our specific requirements, in this case our roles and responsibilities as principle contractors in a CDM project. They will also be supporting us with the development of a CDM health and safety plan and once the work commences will be assisting us with the delivery of our HSE arrangements. First impression - Paradigm’s flexibility and their workable approach has so far been invaluable, we consider this a very good spend.  Operations Manager



Example 3 is large sized chemical company. 

They are utilising Paradigm’s ‘Full Managed Health and Safety Training Service’ which will include the following:

  1. Development and ongoing maintenance of a health and safety training database
  2. Quarterly management statistics and analysis to include a compliance audit report
  3. Health and safety training support helpline
  4. Delivery of 6 days bespoke / certified health and safety training
  5. 2 health and safety training workshops
  6. Delivery of a ‘train the trainer’ programme

 Training isn’t our core business and our HSE team is lean with their focus being tactical in support of our operation. Paradigm providing a Health and Safety Training ‘Full Managed Service’ will save us a headache and enable us to maintain our resource and focus where it is primarily needed. An additional benefit of having Paradigm in support is their capacity to respond. If we need additional resource or support with Paradigm we have a solution at hand. As an HSE Manager I like this flexibility as it provides me with a cost effective solution not only with our training requirements but also with back-up support should we need it. HSE Manager
