- Based in Hessle, East Yorkshire, STSafety was originally founded in 2009. STSafety is passionate about Occupational Safety & Health & we can assist you in achieving H&S excellence. Robust H&S management, of which, I'm sure you are aware, makes good sound business sense. Moreover, the safety & health of your workers should always be a priority - your first priority.

Safe Systems of Work
With all your Risk Assessments you will need Safe Systems of Work (SSoW). STSafety will help you develop suitable & sufficient risk assessments and their subsequent SSoW.
Without an SSoW for each of your Risk Assessments your workers could expose themselves to dangers leading to unwanted incidents, accidents & ill health.
An appropriate SSoW will help ensure workers remain safe from identified hazards & risks, including those that can lead to ill health.
What are safe systems of work?
As the name suggests, a safe system of work is a defined set of procedures resulting from an in-depth study of a task that informs how work should, or must be carried out. Safe systems of work are developed by taking into account the people, substances and equipment involved in undertaking a task, identifying all foreseeable hazards and assessing the risks, and then seeking to minimise or eliminate these risks by providing a formal framework for workers to follow.
Safe systems of work are normally laid out as a written procedural document, for example, written standard operating procedures. They can also be more informal via toolbox talks and/or verbal instructions. This would include a list of do's and don’ts, and accepted custom and practice are all examples of informal safe systems of work. However, for the sake of full understanding, ease of reference, and demonstrating compliance, written systems of work are preferable.
Working safely - THE benefits
So, why work safely?
What are the benefits of following good & robust health and safety practices?
There are numerous benefits of following good & robust health safety practices in the workplace, and all benefits are based around employers having a duty of care for their employees and anyone else who may be on their premises.
Benefit 1 – Protecting your staff
Following health and safety guidelines is primarily to protect employers and their staff from injury, illness or coming into any other form of harm in the workplace. One of the main benefits of following health and safety practices is to prevent common workplace injuries such as back pain, falling from height, injuries from workplace transport accidents, injuries from slips and trips and occupational health related illnesses.
Benefit 2 – Reducing absences
Following health and safety guidelines and maintaining a safe workplace will reduce the risk of work-related illnesses and injuries, and therefore reduce staff absences. Employers therefore, also save money on the direct costs of absences, such as paying salaries.
Benefit 3 – Improving productivity
If your colleagues and employees are able to work in a safe environment, this will improve morale and overall productivity.
Benefit 4 – Saving money
By maintaining health and safety practices in the workplaces, and therefore reducing absences, claims and improving productivity, you will be saving money by retaining staff. Money spent on absences and recruitment processes will decrease, and the business profits will increase.

Face Fit Testing
Where respiratory protective equipment (RPE) is used, it must be able to provide adequate protection for individual wearers. RPE can't protect the wearer if it leaks. A major cause of leaks is poor fit – tight-fitting facepieces need to fit the wearer’s face to be effective.
As people come in all sorts of shapes and sizes it is unlikely that one particular type or size of RPE facepiece will fit everyone. Fit testing will ensure that the equipment selected is suitable for the wearer
STSafety can provide face fit testing to ensure your workers are fully protected.
