Mambo No. 9

Hello all

I'm hoping to do some benchmarking to see how other organisations have their H&S teams set up. I'm particularly interesting in Maintenance, Repair and Construction companies but open to other organisations responding.

We currently have a SHE Manager who is supported by a H&S Advisor. Both roles are national supporting 570 employees (80% maintenance roles, 20% office based).

We have a Quality Assurance Manager but this role sits outside of the SHE Team.

Any information you are happy to share will be gratefully received.

Good luck Mambo. There are so many variables that you might be better placed to put together a questionnaire on say Surevy Monkey and ask people to participate. That way you may get the exact parameters you are looking to benchmark. However:

I work for a construction company. We have just over 50 direct employee, and over 70 subcontractors. We have two offices. We work on sites nationwide and in Repulic of Ireland (though most work is concentrated in the sout east and specifically greater London). We to work as PC on a number of sites but also work as contractors for a range of projects for the big top 50 Construction companies.

I am the sole H&S manager, although all of our project managers and crewbosses all hold SMSTS or IOSH.MS.

Hi Mambo,

We have about 4,000 employees and 21,000 active volunteers on around 650 sites, engaged in various charitable humanitarian activities including ambulance services, emergency relief and domestic support. I have a H&S manager in our charity retail chain, a Senior H&S Adviser managing 3 H&S Advisers in operations, one other H&S adviser for other odd bits of the organisation, and an occupational health specialist. We do neither quality nor environment,

John

230 employees, 10 sites, just me. I deal with H&S, Environmental, QA and external audits for these things. I also get lumbered with any other things people don't want to deal with or understand. My MD even tried to sell my services to a customer once (only once he tried it).

I can do whatever I want providing it costs nothing and does not use up anyone else’s time (and I get my work done, not that they know exactly what that is).
