Health and Safety, especially chemical safety, is a growing concern for businesses throughout the UK and the Global market. Between 2018 and June 2019, it’s estimated around 147 workers were killed due to accidents in the workplace in the UK.

In 2017, 2,526 mesothelioma deaths occurred due to past asbestos exposure and, according to the Labour Force Survey, 581,000 working people sustaining an injury at work in the last year alone.

Dale Allen, the founder and owner of Sevron, believes more can be done to keep people safe and that the responsibility is on businesses to ensure their teams are adequately trained in health and safety – including understanding how to create legally compliant risk-assessments.

Digital health and safety management software is a growing trend in workplace safety throughout the UK. As risk and hazard regulatory requirements continue to become more stringent, employers are increasingly looking to simplify the process and streamline their health and safety tasks.

Sevron was selected to partner with BESA specifically because of its advanced technology coupled with its holistic approach towards health and safety.

Talking about the partnership between Sevron and BESA, Mr Allen said: “It’s incredibly exciting to introduce all BESA members to the awesome power of Artificial Intelligence in delivering a certified, competent and compliant approach to task-based risk assessment and chemical safety. It’s an honour to serve the members of such a prestigious association.”

Mark Oakes, head of BESA publications, said: “We are delighted to partner with Sevron on COSHH compliance. As the trade body for the building engineering sector, we’re constantly striving to find ways to help our members achieve the highest technical standards, maintain compliance and protect health and safety.”

The partnership between Sevron and BESA will ensure members of the Association improve their chemical safety management and compliance using the COSHH365 Suite and K.A.V AI technology.
