Health & Safety / Risk Management

Preventing losses within your business

In today's business environment, losses sustained as a result of inadequate Risk Management can be devastating. Governments, shareholders and regulators are demanding that business owners, executives and board members have control and understanding of the risks affecting the whole of their business operations including strategy, operations, reporting and compliance.

Refresh your outlook on Risk Management...

Risk can be defined as the probability of an event happening and its consequences. All aspects of daily commercial life provide potential positive and negative outcomes. In order to ensure that the consequences associated with occupational health and safety and the protection of property and premises are not negative, Argyll provides a combination of specialist Health & Safety advice and Risk Management solutions. Focusing upon the prevention and mitigation of potential harm to individuals and the loss or damage of the assets of a business, these solutions are tailored to the needs of each client. When our Clients' premises are surveyed by their Insurers, an experienced Argyll representative will be in attendance to make certain that potential property losses are fully considered.

Risk management should be a continuous and developing process which runs throughout the company's culture and strategy. It should methodically address all the risks surrounding the organisation's activities past, present, and in particular, future. Effective risk management is a critical component of any winning management strategy. Options for treatment of exposures include avoidance, reduction, contractual transfer, insurance transfer, and retention. The most effective treatment of risk usually involves the application of more than one of these methods.
