Oban is a recently qualified Health & Safety professional with an impressive list of qualifications for someone so early on in her career. She has recently attained her NEBOSH Diploma qualification which provides a broad understanding of Health & Safety issues and best practice. The qualification is based on health & safety law and provides an in-depth overview of Health & Safety management and covers topics such as risk assessments and physical and psychological health within the workplace.
Oban assists clients with a variety of Health & Safety related tasks such as reviewing client Health & Safety documentation and processes, supporting them with risk assessments, developing method statements, and providing advice in line with UK law.
She believes that an open and honest relationship with clients will encourage them to reach out should they require any advice or guidance.
“I strive to provide a professional and informative service to our clients, utilising my knowledge to offer them with sound advice. My sole aim is to provide them with peace of mind that they are compliant with Health & Safety laws. Working with clients along their development journey and watching them enhance their business efficiency is a true passion of mine. I am always looking to develop my skills by learning from colleagues and gaining knowledge from them to ensure we are offering the best possible service at all times.”
“I prefer to take a hands-on approach when it comes to consulting clients. We like to get to know their businesses from the ground up to gain an understanding of their processes and procedures. This allows us to come up with better approaches to achieve the best possible outcomes for their company.
The greatest challenge in health and safety is the human factor. Changing the ways of working and the safety culture within an organisation is often the largest hurdle as it varies depending on people’s behaviour, attitudes and more. This is where building strong working relationships with the various client teams is key.”
“There is often a negative perception of Health & Safety with many of the opinion that we are here to ruin the fun. This is completely not the case – we are here to ensure that business can be conducted in a way that minimises harm to people. We aim to change the way individuals think about Health & Safety encouraging them to adapt their approach in new and innovative ways but still in line with UK law and best practices. There is nothing more satisfying than observing the positive outcomes a client experiences as a result of our support and guidance.”
“I am very much looking forward to what the future holds for AAB People and our Health & Safety team. Our team is expanding, and we are continuing to break into new markets. I am pleased to see that many clients are now looking more closely at their Health & Safety and it is now becoming more of a focus. Personally, I am looking forward to expanding my knowledge in new and exciting businesses and sectors. Our bespoke Health & Safety service offering is an excellent offering for businesses looking to grow rapidly and there are always new and exciting start-ups emerging, particularly within the renewables sector. I am excited by the future, and I cannot wait to see where the AAB People business goes!”
