Roy Westwick Cmiosh, Assoc. Cipd Email & Phone Number

Nottingham, United Kingdom

In this role I support Omega and South Staffordshire Water Plc colleagues with all safety, health, environmental & quality needs. I led and addressed all gaps in the business becoming ISO 45001, ISO 14001 and recently ISO 19443 (nuclear quality assured) certified. I am the Omega’s lead auditor and I complete assurance audits every month and also lead our external audits with numerous suppliers for accreditation requested by our key customers. I also ensure our management systems meet the requirements of ISO 9001. I attend monthly meetings with the Omega board and discuss risks and opportunities within the business to help promote continuous improvement. I manage the Company’s significant training budget and ensure the training meets our colleagues needs even if it means that I complete the training first. I am a NSAC NVC assessor and NOCN End Point Assessor so I am competent to assess colleagues in the workplace. I am currently the Chairman of the Steeplejack & Lightning Protection Training Group (SLPTG), Vice President of the Association of Technical Lightning & Access Specialists (ATLAS - trade federation) and the vice chairman of the ATLAS Safety & Access Committee.I promote a Just culture within the business where colleagues must feel empowered to stop work if they feel unsafe. Blame adds no value but learning is vital. Context drives behaviour and short cuts are usually taken due to poor processes and/or procedures. Workers are usually trying to do the right thing and through good communication concerns can be addressed as long as any actions taken add value. Mistakes and errors can happen but any negative outcomes must be low risk. However, misconduct must be dealt with accordingly and I am trained in people management from being the Company’s HR manager in the past.I promote a safety first approach within Omega as an unsafe business isn’t a profitable business and no one should go to work without going home without injury - Work Safe, Home Safe.
