Charles Taylor launches safety management unit

Charles Taylor has launched a safety management business aimed at the manufacturing, offshore energy, construction and mining industries, among others.

Charles Taylor Safety Management (CTSM) will help businesses improve safety, reduce accidents and related insurance claims.

Charles Taylor said CTSM’s service focuses on embedding a safety culture among the senior executives of a business and then cascading it through senior and middle managers to the operational front line.

It includes safety and risk management audits, training and seminars from certified safety professionals in order to successfully reduce exposure to risks and accidents in the workplace.

Larry Toepper, president of CTSM, said: “The aim of CTSM is to drive cultural change and transform people’s attitudes towards safety awareness.  Our experience has shown a clear correlation between internal safety awareness among senior executives, the implementation of formal processes and the subsequent decrease in claims levels.

“Our aim is to help businesses mitigate risk and we are now able to deliver our service across a wide range of different sectors.  By working with senior level executives, we aim to help them create a culture of safety within their businesses that increases productivity and flows straight through to the bottom-line.”
