The Otter Consultancy, in connection with our Associate Consultants can provide a wide range of services connected with occupational health, safety, ergonomics and personnel support to industry and commerce.

We have been involved with the development of long term health and safety improvement plans and the design and implementation of systems for assessment of risks within a wide variety of businesses. This has included the identification of tasks requiring assessment of risks, task analysis, task redesign, workplace redesign and implementation of safe systems of work. A substantial proportion of this work has included assessment of manual handling and other tasks involving risks of injury to the musculo-skeletal system. We carry out audits of business systems and inspections of workplaces to evaluate compliance with statutory requirements and advise on means of achieving compliance.

In association with MBA Safety & Training Limited of Taunton, we can provide specially tailored IOSH accredited courses which include the 'Safety for Senior Executives' briefing day for senior managers, and the 4 day 'Managing Safely' course which includes an end of training written assessment and a workplace practical assessment.
