MABEY HIRE RECEIVES INDUSTRY-FIRST COVID SECURE
GUIDELINE VERIFICATION Demonstrating its commitment to the safety of its customers and colleagues, Mabey Hire has recently received COVID SECURE Guideline Verification from NQA, making it one of the first five companies in the UK to do so.
Following the business-wide implementation of numerous new safety measures, and adaptation of its working practices to ensure the continued health and wellbeing of its customers and colleagues, Mabey Hire is delighted to have received the COVID SECURE Guideline Verification. It comes after a voluntary audit and inspection by NQA, a Global Certification Body, at its three largest depots: Garswood, Glasgow and Dewsbury.
Launched by NQA in May, the COVID SECURE Guideline Verification is designed to recognise organisations that have put in place specific measures to mitigate the transmission of COVID-19, in line with government guidelines.
Speaking about the achievement, Gordon MacDonald, CEO at Mabey Hire, said: “As the construction industry works to adapt its approach in light of the coronavirus pandemic, we are delighted that we have been

recognised by NQA as satisfying all of the COVID-19 guidelines – making us the first in our industry.
Richard Bowyer, Regional Assessor at NQA, said: “After several days with Mabey Hire, during its COVID SECURE Guideline Verification, it is evident the company has taken a vigorous and professional approach to managing the hazards associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The result is a risk management strategy which protects employees and all interested parties; a confirmation of the effectiveness of its management systems and the application of ISO 45001.”
Laura Fletcher, Commercial and CX Director at NQA, concluded: “By achieving NQA’s COVID SECURE Guideline Verification, Mabey Hire has demonstrated leadership within its industry and a much-needed confidence to clients in these challenging times.”

Full integration with a Learning Management System ensures employers are instantly notified of any issues raised by employees, whilst keeping employees updated with any responses. During this process employees are able to revisit the full training course or specific sections of the programme, to help reinforce their understanding of DSE setup to ensure they are working safely.
Nathan Pitman, Director at iHASCO, said: “The interactive assessment has been developed to provide a simple and quick solution to the necessary DSE assessments that employers must carry out.
iHASCO has developed an updated version of their DSE (Display Screen Equipment) assessment, which comes free with their IOSH approved DSE training course.
Employees will be prompted to undertake the online assessment on completion of their training. The fully interactive assessment can provide advice and record any outstanding concerns with DSE setup so issues can be simply resolved by an employer, whilst keeping a historical record of any communication.
Users will be able to complete the online assessment in around 10 minutes, by selecting answers on important questions to ensure their safety when using DSE. It consists of eight topics including work equipment, chairs, screens and devices and the environment around their workstations.

“It also allows employees to confidently raise any issues and avoid unnecessary injury and fatigue from improper setup. We would highly recommend any returning employees to the office as a result of COVID-19 to refresh their DSE training and complete the interactive assessment. This proactive approach will help ensure they use their equipment correctly and remain healthy and productive.”
iHASCO’s DSE training course and interactive assessment can be completed in just 45 minutes. It is suitable for new starters and as refresher training for existing employees. DSE assessments should be carried out at least every two years or sooner if there is a change in circumstances, such as the use of new equipment or a change of workstation or location (including remote working). This also applies to returning employees after a period of absence.
