Most construction organisations have mature safety systems, but workforce health is often less joined up. Physical health risks, psychosocial risks and workforce support may sit in different parts of the business.
The Health Risk Gap Analysis gives leaders one independent view of how well those arrangements are working together to prevent harm, support performance and provide evidence of control.
The Gap Analysis can be used in two ways.
A broad review of how workforce health risk is managed across physical health risks, psychosocial risks and workforce support, together with the leadership, governance and assurance connecting them.
It identifies where control is strong, where arrangements are fragmented and where risk may still be unmanaged.
A more focused review for organisations wanting to understand and improve psychosocial risk management.
We benchmark current arrangements against ISO 45003 while considering the HSE Management Standards and the CLC Joint Code of Practice within the realities of construction delivery.
Both approaches give leaders a clearer view of current arrangements and where improvement is needed.
Policies, providers and wellbeing initiatives can create confidence that workforce health is covered.
The real gaps often appear when those arrangements are tested against what is actually happening across the business and on projects.
A meaningful Gap Analysis cannot be completed from policies alone. We bring together organisational expectations, project reality and available evidence to understand where risk actually sits.
This means looking at who owns workforce health, how physical and psychosocial risks are controlled, what support people can access and whether the organisation can demonstrate that its controls are working over time.
The result is a clear view of what is working, what needs attention and where improvement will have the greatest impact.
Test ownership, governance and evidence that controls are working effectively.
Review how occupational health hazards are anticipated, assessed and controlled.
Review workload, working patterns, programme pressure and other work related causes of harm.
Understand whether people can access appropriate professional and peer support.
Use the Gap Analysis to identify gaps, strengthen control and focus improvement where it matters most.
