Riverhead Apartment complex
Winsland was engaged to undertake health and safety support in the form of regular audits which served to both inform contractors on their performance and provide Receivers with assurance on health and safety on a project under their management. Being accountancy qualified, they were after H&S expertise. They wanted someone who could provide assurance that workplace health and safety risk was being well managed.
We completed monthly audits over several months for the Receiver. This included extensive work with the contractor to address health and safety concerns. The concerns were primarily around working at height, management of dust, and ensuring staff were trained and competent.
