Our Services
The following capabilities are indicative of the range of services that can be provided by Aegis EHS Services Ltd.

In addition, we can assist our clients in preparing reports to support or defend civil actions for damages and/or briefs to Counsel arising from enforcement action.

Chemical Industries

Aegis can support the development of new products and processes with high-level risk evaluation and control techniques, validation and auditing of clients and contractors management control systems and procedures and the provision of scientific and technical advice, consultancy and support.Top

Defence and Associated Industries
With experience in the military aviation marine industries, we are uniquely placed to be able to offer services to the Ministry of Defence and other businesses providing support services to the defence industry.

With the continuing drive for competitiveness and efficiency, business managers in the defence industry and similar former government agencies, are looking for cost-effective and appropriate suppliers of support services, including the full range of QuEnSH services.

We have the demonstrated ability to provide these services, including the ability to supply government agencies and other sensitive organisations, with staff who are not only technically competent, but who also hold appropriate security clearances.

Due Diligence & Corporate Governance
We can assist clients in conducting due diligence/corporate governance audits, especially in the fields of occupational health and safety risks and environmental impact assessments.

This service can be extended to include the implementation of risk management and loss control programmes and can also be linked to the provision or development of an Integrated Management System (IMS).

Engineering Production & Management Control Systems
Within the engineering disciplines, the greater use of automation, robotics, smart systems and artificial intelligence, together with revisions to legislation, opens up new business challenges.

We can provide advice regarding the development, implementation and auditing of the processes associated with conformity assessment, CE marking and the development of associated engineering, operation and process management and control systems and procedures.

We have significant experience of providing practical and theoretical advice, and guidance regarding the selection and implementation of appropriate control strategies, including guarding techniques, interlocking or other safety devices and staff training needs.

Evaluation of Machinery and Plant
Recent research has shown that more than two-thirds of industry does not have robust procedures to ensure that their machinery plant or equipment is compliant with the relevant implemented European Directives.

This omission not only renders the organisation liable to prosecution but also may result in unsafe or dangerous equipment being at use in the workplace, with the consequential potential for personal injury. We can provide a competent and independent advisory and consultancy service to manufacturers, suppliers and importers, regarding the actions required to ensure compliance.

In addition, we can undertake a detailed machinery compliance audit to establish the degree of compliance, and will publish a stratified risk-based report and action plan regarding any shortcomings identified.

1st & 2nd Party Auditing
We can manage 1st and 2nd party audit schedules to meet the requirements of external standards, including company's processes and external suppliers to provide management with confirmation of continuing compliance to documented procedures. We can also provide the management interface between the external assessment bodies.

We can also undertake compliance and performance audits, including environmental audits, in accordance with the relevant Standards and/or client-specific requirements.

HSE&Q Advice and Consultancy
We can provide independent expert Health, Safety, Environment & Quality advice and consultancy and support services across all business disciplines, including the selection and evaluation of third party contractors, provision of retained practitioners to act as “competent” persons and the coaching and mentoring of line mangers and safety professionals.

In addition, our subscription-based help line and response service, operates 24 hours/day, every day.

Integrated Management Systems (IMS)
A consensus is forming that perceives value in the integration of Quality, Environment, Safety and Health (QuEnSH) systems. Within industry the commercial benefits to be gained by the adoption of an IMS are of particular value within high cost, high visibility industry groups.

We have the resources and competence to develop and implement these integrated management systems addressing the mandatory procedures and processes in preparation for external 3rd Party independent assessment and registration to recognised external bodies. The standards being applied for will include, but not be limited to:

In addition we can document internal procedures, if required, for the efficient management and control of a company. All mandatory and company procedures will be subject to a continuous improvement assessment ensuring the implementation of best practice.

Liaison with Enforcing Authorities
We can, where appropriate, undertake work on behalf of clients to liaise with Enforcing Authorities (e.g. Health & Safety Executive; The Environment Agency / Scottish Environment Protection Agency; Local Authority Environmental Health Officers) in relation to Health, Safety and Environmental issues, to assist clients in developing a programme of work to resolve the concerns of the Enforcing Authority.

Power Generation, Distribution and Supply Industry
The power generation, distribution and supply industries, present a unique set of industrial, commercial and occupational risks. We have more than fifteen years experience of providing training, advice and support across all areas of this industry group.

Current initiatives include training and advice for those staff conducting Hand-Arm -Vibration Syndrome assessments, Environmental Aspect and Impact assessment training and the conception, development, introduction and management of a bespoke Integrated Management System (IMS).

This IMS was unique in that it was the first fully integrated assessment of a power generation station simultaneously to all three QuEnSH standards, (ISO 9001:2000, ISO 14001:1996 and OHSAS 18001:1999)

With contacts in major organisations in the Electricity Association, Aegis is able to further develop and market this service across this extensive industry.

Public Perception
We can attend local council and public meetings, on behalf of clients ensuring that the concept of safe and environmental sound site management is promoted and maintained. We can also address queries raised by Action Groups and / or the general public to assist in allaying any fears and concerns about perceived environment or health risks associated with the construction and allied industries.

Risk Assessments
We can undertake Risk Assessments on behalf of clients across all business areas, including DSE, Fire, COSHH, HAV, Asbestos, Environmental Management, Plant & Machinery, RF Emissions, Occupational Health, Noise, Manual Handling etc.

This may also include analysing company procedures and practices through process mapping; identifying significant risks, allocating priorities and agreeing an improvement plan.

This process can also be extended to encompass the philosophies of Due Diligence and Corporate Governance as detailed above.

For higher risk activities, or environments, we can also undertake quantified risk assessments, e.g. FMEA, FTA, ETA.

Training, Conferences & Facilities
We can undertake a full training needs analysis (TNA) and develop and deliver training and development programmes, including client specific programmes and externally accredited courses.

In association with our partner organisations we can offer IOSH Working Safely, Managing Safely, Health & Safety in Concept Design and Safety for Senior Executives programmes and Nebosh National General Certificate and Diploma and associated programmes.

Through these partner organisations, we are also able to source a wide range of on site or residential training, and can organise and promote conference services including the provision of facilities and accommodation.

Other Issues
The wider technology issues include the specialist emerging markets; we can provide continuing support and advice to ensure compliance with the relevant statutory duties and obligations.

Other services which we can provide include the implementation and development of behaviour-based safety management programmes and the development of safety cases to support the introduction of new technologies.

We can also offer a counselling and mentoring service for both safety professionals and the general management team; this service is in support of our other business development services.
