Case studies
Our job is to streamline your business requirements so you save money in the long run and your business is compliant with government regulations.
Case study 1 - Two weeks of audits
THE ISSUE
In this case a company experienced 6 supplier and customer audits in the space of two weeks.
The audits were about Chain of Responsibility and were to ensure that the company had all compliance requirements in place.
Each audit took between three and five hours to complete.
During the audit a number of officers from the organization were required, this took into account the: general manager, operations manager, compliance officer and sales manager. This equated to four people on average of four hours, being 16 hours for each audit multiply the 16 hours by 6 audits it was 96 hours consumed by senior managers within an organisation. If we translate that into dollars it comes to nearly $7,000 and the opportunity cost is enormous.
SOLUTION
By simply having a Certificate of Compliance from ACASA, the certificate could be sent to the supplier or customer which would then meet their legal requirements that they had to ensure the provider complied.
Overall this is enormous cost saving.
Case study 2 - Onboarding of suppliers
THE ISSUE
In this case the client had won a new contract, within the contract transport was required into the site. Transport was provided by approximately 50 of their own vehicles and 200 casual subcontractors. Under the conditions of the contract all carriers regardless who they were engaged by, were required to be registered and on boarded into the “system of safety” on the site.
The business set about training, educating, assessing and documenting all 250 contractors. Some of those contractors were easy and only took one to two hours to on board some of those contractors took weeks. In the end he was estimated that's one board all the contractors on the site took an average of 1.75 hours per contractor this took the organisation 438 hours overall to on-board the contractors for the new project. Although the onboarding was done by supervisors and middle level operatives the estimated cost of the onboarding activity was in the order of $20,000.
As the company who let the contract needed the primary contractor to be compliant, the primary contractor was asked to prove that they were compliant. This meant that the primary contractor must do all the onboarding and provide documentation to confirm that.
The primary contractor under ACAS, could simply request to all the contractors to be ACAS Accredited which simplify the onboarding process to a few hours.
SOLUTION
The primary contractor under ACASA, simply requested that all contractors to be ACASA Accredited which simplify the onboarding process to a few hours. The time and dollar saving was $20,000+, but more over the contractor compliance was achieved before work commenced, thus meeting most risk rule of “predict & prevent”
