EMSS is raising the bar on Health & Safety throughout industry 'globally'!
EMSS (essential minimum safety standard) is pleased to announce the launch of its new Competency Profile system. The EMSS Competency Profile is set to revolutionise the way which employers, workers and client sites share vital safety and competency information for the contractor workforce. EMSS is an independent and not for profit social enterprise.
With the support of The HSE and The British Safety Council EMSS’ legacy is beyond reproach.
''EMSS provides an effective system for recording health and safety competence. The British Safety Council fully supports this scheme.'' Julie Nerney British Safety Council (Chief Executive).
What can EMSS provide you?
USERS
Users can upload their relevant industry training to their profile and instantly share it with their employer and any sites they will attend. The minimum entry requirement for an EMSS card is an approved, valid safety passport or equivalent qualification. There is no need for a new qualification to enter the EMSS scheme. Audited and approved schemes are CCNSG, The National Safety Passport, SPA, VCA (European Passport), IOSH Managing Safely and NEBOSH General Certificate. EMSS not only asks for proof of a candidate’s safety passport, we also audit their qualification with the awarding body providing even more time and cost savings to the industry.
EMPLOYERS
Employers can network staff to a free ‘network profile’. From here they can add in house training for their people and instantly share their profiles with clients prior to the individual attending a site. No more need for sending over documentary evidence of staff’s relevant skills; they can be instantly shared electronically saving both employer and client a great deal of admin, time and money.
CLIENT SITES
Client sites can access any EMSS card holder’s training records and assurance that they have an in-date, audited and approved industry standard safety passport or equivalent. Sites can live audit EMSS card holders via web on the job or when they arrive on site. EMSS card holders can also share their profile via email before they even arrive on site. Contractors can also share multiple profiles with a client site ahead of a job saving everyone time and money in unnecessary admin.
