Staying on top of environment, health and safety with Barbour EHS

Barbour EHS is a trusted provider of regulatory information, guidance, standards and resources to support organisations with their diverse range of environment, health & safety responsibilities. The company enables businesses to understand the applicable legislation, what it means, and what they need to do. The Barbour EHS tools give clients the ability to implement important frameworks and influence company culture.

Inch Cape approached Barbour EHS to help navigate complex legislation and understand its obligations related to safety of employees and environmental protection. After working closely with the Inch Cape team, Barbour EHS has been able to support its specific requirements with individually tailored services.

Outcomes

By leveraging Barbour EHS’ comprehensive health, safety and environmental legislation resources, Inch Cape has efficient access to information and tools to positively influence on-site culture, and support environmental, health and safety (EHS) compliance.

Through the company’s extensive and up-to-date libraries, Inch Cape can easily review essential guidance, legislation, and trade association publications in a centralised platform. A key bookmarking feature keeps the team updated automatically on any changes, ensuring compliance without delay.  The Inch Cape team also makes use of the ready-made Barbour EHS tools – such as toolbox talks, model policy templates, director briefings, and weekly newsletters – to facilitate effective communication on EHS responsibilities across all levels, supporting a culture of accountability and reinforcing values.

Finally, by taking advantage of the extensive library of downloadable resources, the team can proactively manage compliance and EHS obligations. Included are legislation summaries, technical guides on priority topics, ISO gap analysis tools, and risk assessment templates, which are key in helping to reduce the risks associated with non-compliance.

Researching, verifying, and interpreting complex legislation presents significant challenges, particularly given the potential risks to employees and the business if misunderstood. Barbour EHS has streamlined this process for Inch Cape by translating complex legal requirements into accessible, practical resources, saving the project team valuable time and resources. The libraries are updated daily, ensuring Inch Cape has access to accurate and up to date information – which gives a reliable alternative to online searches that often yield outdated or incorrect information.

Mary Underwood, Senior Sales Consultant at Barbour EHS said:

“We are always delighted when an organisation demonstrates a commitment to taking full control of their EHS compliance. Inch Cape’s proactive approach shows their dedication to not only meeting legal requirements, but going above and beyond to ensure a safe, compliant, and environmentally responsible operation.

It’s a privilege to support a team that values getting the job done right.”
