Whether it is CE Marking or the PUWER/WED regulations, safety and compliance in the workplace are important legal requirements. We must provide a safe working environment for our employees.
We must, however, be able to produce efficiently. Our solutions provide a reduction in risk that is practicable, and still allows equipment to be used by employees. If “reasonably practicable” wasn’t the point, we wouldn’t be able to weld, grind or operate a JCB!
We are very proud to have more than 25 years of experience within the Safety and Engineering sectors, supplying a complete range of Health and Safety services to a broad range of industries. In addition, we can provide testing and verification services in an EN17025:2005 accredited environment. This is a key component for providing certification for ‘high consequence’ equipment.
MSCS staff include one of the very few recognised by CEN (who publish the harmonised EU standards) as an expert on European Directives by appointment as ‘Registered advisor to the European Committee for Standardization’ and Appointed Expert on European Safety Standards.
As health and safety practitioners, our competence and work have been audited by UKAS and provided Notified Body and Competent Body assistance for organisations holding this appointment with the UK Department for Business, Innovation and Skills.
Attending national and technical Committee safety meetings, we contributed to the Paper Industry Technical Association (PITA) Engineering Working Group and worked with the HSE PABIAC Committee producing ‘Making Paper Safely’ and ‘Rewinding Safely’. This culminated in the guidance of Safety Related Control Circuits released by the HSE.
Reviewed by industry, MSCS directors were awarded a European award for Safety Innovation and a Global Award for Safety Innovation in the USA.
This gives us a unique insight into the challenges our customers face in providing machinery that is safe, compliant and still useable.
Our head office premises consist of 3500sq/ft offices and laboratory facilities at our bespoke site. As such, you can have confidence that we are an established business with evidential growth. We will be there in the long term to support you.
Our guiding principle is to simplify the health and safety compliance concerning machinery. This means we interpret the requirements and give the client a real-world solution. We understand health and safety are of primary importance, but this must be balanced with common sense and a practical approach to making the practice workable and affordable.
