National Group: making an ISO 45001 system work on site

National Group already held ISO 45001 certification and wanted to know its safety practices were really being used on site, not just written down. Advanced Safety tested the system against what was happening at project sites across the country and turned the gaps into a clear roadmap.

The challenge

Certified on paper, proven on site?

National Group is a construction business with a strong safety reputation and ISO 45001 certification. Its leaders wanted proof that the system they'd built was actually protecting people at every site. The work had to cover:

  • Confirming that safety standards and objectives were consistently met
  • Keeping practice consistent across remote sites with very different conditions
  • Getting frontline staff to own the system, not just tolerate it
  • Recommendations practical enough to turn into real change

A certificate shows a system exists, the sites show whether it works.

What Advanced Safety did

Diagnose, design, sustain

DIAGNOSE

Culture and engagement

Advanced Safety ran a culture and engagement session with leaders and staff to work out how mature the business really was and where the opportunities sat.

DESIGN

Verify and audit

Existing practice was reviewed against the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 and industry good practice, with document checks and in-depth audits at project sites across the country. The findings became a prioritised roadmap of actions.

SUSTAIN

Ongoing audits

The work carried on with quarterly audits, training and reporting so National Group could see how each site was tracking over time.

The result

What National Group got

  • Written policies and on-site behaviour brought into line
  • More consistent safety practice across sites
  • A prioritised roadmap of actions the team could act on
  • Stronger buy-in from staff on the ground
  • Regular audit reporting to track progress

"If you're just looking after your own health and safety, you can easily be steering well away from what is considered best practice. I would definitely recommend Advanced Safety services."
