it is important for every business to have the correct HEALTH & SAFETY measures in place


GPW Consulting Limited, a company that helps businesses with health and safety matters, achieving ISO standards and waste management, is now offering drone surveys to its clients. The surveys can assess the risks associated with items


that are difficult or unsafe to reach, such as manufacturing plants, roofs and building structures. The photos taken can also be used on marketing materials. Gary Wilson (pictured inset), owner of GPW


Consulting Limited, said: “The health and safety risks involved with accessing difficult to reach areas of a site or structure, along with the implications of the Working at Height regulations, saw us receive enquiries for a drone service.


“I knew my colleague Neil Mcintyre had a UK Civil


Aviation Authority (CAA) licence and asked him to come and do the survey. We realised the potential to add this as an ongoing service. Neil set up Skyview Insight Limited, a partner company of GPW Consulting Limited. Now we can offer lots of different services from surveys of buildings to inside tanks and vessels, and topographic and 3D volumetric surveys. There isn’t much we can’t do with the drone!” Each video can be branded with the client’s logo and delivered in 4K HD quality within 24 hours of the survey.

firms a key holding service which means their insured, qualified and SIA licensed mobile patrol officer is dispatched instead in a high profile security vehicle to ascertain the activation’s cause, liaise with police and arrange secure boarding if necessary. Managing director Mark


Bennett said: “Health and safety can have a significant impact out of hours. If a staff member responds to an alarm they become a lone worker and therefore insurance, risk and safety policy all come into play. “Attending in the dark with


no guarantee of a police response to an unknown cause and potentially face intruders is not a situation any business owner wants to put themselves or a staff member in. “With our key holding service


the call is routed to our 24/7 control room and our officers are dispatched instead.” Scorpion Security will offer Chamber members a 15% discount for any new clients taking up the key holding service when referencing this article. Mark added: “Fellow Chamber members are welcome to contact us should they need security advice or guidance and we always provide free quotations for this key holding service or any of our intruder alarm, CCTV or access control services.”
