Safety management (HSE)

The most important purpose of safety management (HSE) is to avoid accidents and illness among employees. With a safety coordinator you can prevent accidents or incidents during special tasks and minimise the risk of injury and illness under normal conditions. HSE is an international term standing for Health, Safety and Environment.

Health, safety and environment

Get a healthy and safe construction project

Whether you represent the client, advisor or designer, you have a great responsibility and important obligations when it comes to safety, environment and the working environment. At MI Support we have experienced safety managers and coordinators who can handle every stage of the construction project before, during and after handover. The tasks our HSE consultants perform are all set out in Danish working environment legislation and requirements and can vary according to the size and design of the construction.

What does safety management (HSE) involve?

HSE – Health, Safety & Environment

Safety management (HSE) stands for Health, Safety and Environment and, for us, is about ensuring health, safety and environment in the workplace. It encompasses a broad range of activities and policies aimed at protecting employees from risks and dangers in the workplace, minimising the risk of injury and illness, and protecting the environment from potential hazards.

Health

MI Support's safety coordinators aim to protect employees from potential health problems that may arise during a construction project. Our work can first and foremost involve preventing physical injuries or exposure to hazardous chemicals. In addition, it can involve promoting employees' mental health by creating a positive workplace culture and offering resources and support related to stress management and other mental health issues.

Safety

MI Support's safety coordinators take on the responsibility of protecting employees from the risk of injury or accidents during the construction project. This can include everything from physical hazards such as falls, collisions or explosions to dangers that may arise due to a lack of training or inadequate protective equipment. Our most important task is to identify potential hazards and minimise risks by implementing appropriate safety procedures and policies.

Environment

MI Support's safety coordinators place great emphasis on minimising the construction project's impact on the local and global environment. Our task also involves identifying and minimising the work's emissions of hazardous substances, as well as minimising the amount of waste and pollution generated by the construction project's activities. In addition, we also focus on the project meeting the relevant environmental standards and legislation.

The safety coordinator's role

HSE from design to handover

Our safety coordinators take responsibility for HSE in all phases of the construction with structure, documentation and close follow-up on site.

Phase 01

HSE in the preparation and design phase

Before the start of the project, the safety coordinator prepares HSE guidelines and procedures for the client. In the design phase, a health and safety plan (PSS) is drawn up to ensure that everyone working on the site has a good working environment. A PSS includes, among other things:

The construction site's organisation plan
Construction site drawings
Schedules
Description of existing conditions and risks resulting from the project's design
Description of the construction site's access routes and other common areas, including matters of order, tidiness, snow clearing, gritting and waste handling
Demarcation of areas with particular risks and specification of specific measures for, for example, particularly hazardous work
Procedures for controlling safety measures
Emergency and evacuation plans

Phase 02

HSE in the execution phase

In addition to keeping compliance with the PSS up to date, the safety coordinator must also make adjustments as the construction progresses. It is the safety coordinator's responsibility to maintain an overview and stay up to date with new legislation and standards during the implementation of the project. During the implementation of the project, the safety coordinator takes responsibility for:

The mandatory safety meetings
Daily walkarounds
The PSS
Accident frequency
Risk assessment
Safety presentation
Communication with authorities (e.g. the Danish Working Environment Authority)
Model workplace walkarounds
Management of hot work

"For me as a safety coordinator it is important to be present on the construction site and to work together with the client and contractors on a safe workplace."
