Welcome to OMS Blog
Life as a consultant with OMS
March 02, 2009
Having drawn the short straw, here goes with my first consultant’s blog.
Originally from Birmingham, I have moved around the UK and the world and finally settled in the East Midlands in 2004. I have been with OMS now for 7 months. Coming from a military and a manufacturing background into consultancy was a little different for me, but I soon settled in and became used to advising clients as opposed to telling the workforce how to go about their daily routine safely. So where have the last 7 months gone?
The Royal Air Force Association - RAFA have homes and offices all over the UK, from their head office in Leicester, to Edinburgh, to Folkestone, to Exeter, to Belfast and all places in between. All homes and offices have now had there annual health and safety inspection for 2008 - 2009.
Home-Start UK - Home-Start have offices and home workers all over the UK, from their head office in Leicester, to Perth, to Hayling Island, to Colchester, to Belfast and all places in between. All homes and offices have now had their annual health and safety inspection for 2008- 2009.
Cavill Fabrications Ltd - Cavill are based in Loughborough and are steelwork fabricators covering structural steelwork, secondary steelwork and metal work. They also have design capability, a fabrication shop. They carry out site installations throughout the UK, utilising there in-house team of qualified staff.
Thomas Cassie and Sons - They are a long established roofing company based in Leicester. The bulk of their work is carried out for Leicester City Council who require their contractors to be approved by Exor – Awarded EXOR Gold status.
AC Hydraulics Limited - These are based in Leicester and are a major single source for both hydraulic and pneumatic products, offering a choice of parts from a single sealing washer to complete system assemblies with the most advanced branded world leading products.
RS Electrical Installations - RS are an electrical contracting company based in Leicester. The bulk of their work is carried out for Leicester City Council, who now have a requirement for their contractors to be approved by Exor – Assessment ongoing.
Training also plays a role in my life here at OMS. I have so far rolled out the following courses for clients at our own training facilities and also at client premises.
SGMS Group – Manual Handling and Risk Assessment courses.
Coors Brewers - IOSH Working Safely courses.
SPA Core and Food & Drink refresher courses.
As you can see, a challenging and varied role!
