Grounds Maintenance Specialists Ltd (GMS Ltd) specialise in landscaping and sports pitch maintenance with a wide array of machinery, the latest technology and trained staff to suit all maintenance needs. They have been maintaining commercial grounds, school grounds and sports pitches in the North East of England since 1997.
With over 42 staff members they operate from 2 depots across the North East with the main office and depot being in Cramlington, their additional site at West Boldon.
What did Grounds Maintenance Specialists Ltd want to solve by hiring WA Management?
GMS have grown significantly over the last 10 years doubling their storage space and significantly increasing their workforce and fleet. As a result, GMS employed WA management to assist them with upgrading and professionalising their health and safety management system.
WA Management provide GMS with Health and Safety Advisory Services, which includes:
Jake and WA Management have helped our business work clearer and smarted with our health and safety. Their policies and paperwork are first class and very easy to understand. The back up and assistance they provide is very responsive and if we are unable to contact Jake, another team member is always on hand. Jake has helped our management team and staff understand and implement our health and safety policies across the workplace in an efficient manner. I can not remember how much time was wasted prior to WA Management bringing our health and safety to this high standard.
We evaluated all company documents creating a new health and safety policy and body of company risk assessments. WA Management have helped to increase the visibility of health and safety within the business, implementing an auditing schedule which includes site-based audits which were not previously undertaken.
This schedule has been utilised alongside annual health and safety awareness training days to engage workers and improve the safety culture overall.
Learning from increased accident and near miss reporting has lead to the team having a better understanding of health and safety processes.
