Want to know a secret?

The well kept secret is that risk mananagement and ISO systems like quality, safety and environment should be EASY! 

Plus they make your life easier and save you money when they are kept simple.

And risks are there in every business. 

• You may have the risk of a receptionist having a bad day or an employee failing to turn up on time that could upset your customer and even lose you a client and perhaps a lot of money. 
• You may have the risk of new neighbours who object to the appearance, noise or simply the traffic from your business and try to close you down or force you to move,
• And you always have the risk of someone injuring themselves.

The issue is that like most people, you are unaware of most of your risks until they happen.

And the other problem is that most business owners would rather go to the dentist than think about how to prevent these risks and have a management system.

They have seen too many systems that were put in by people who don't really understand how systems work so they build a mountain of paper.  Then they get a quality manager in who shores up his empire by making the job bigger with even more paper and red tape.

That approach is simply B*****it! 

You can and should have a simple system that questions every piece of paper and restricts policies and SOPs to one page because otherwise they will be ignored.

And by restricting paper, I do not mean simply going electronic.  That is just another media for "paper".

I can help you.  After twenty years of working with quality systems including in my own businesses, plus being trained as a lead auditor in safety and environmental systems I do deeply understand these systems.  I do help you to keep them slimline and simple so that they work.  Discover more at www.integratedISOsystems.com

Meanwhile, let me ask, do you spend a lot of time with your head down and your bum up in your business, hoping that things will go away?

At one level it may look like you are right  - the SA Parliament has adjourned debate on the Work Health and Safety (WHS) Bill until 14 February 2012, the new WHS legislation will not commence on 1 January as has been mooted.   Other states are in a similar situation.

This is NOT an invitation to relax!   The new safety has NOT gone away!

WorkCover has been losing so much money that credible rumour has it that SafeWork SA is looking to make up the shortfall with big fines.  In SA alone there is a conviction for breaking workplace safety laws almost every week, year in year out. And the fines are going up when the new legislation comes early next year,

And let’s not assume that the other states are any different.  They all believe in “user pays” and if you employ people, you are a vulnerable user so get your house in order

You need to get started and I would love to help you

That is why I have HALVED the price of the risk management workshop pack to only $368.50 including DVDs of the full workshop, CDs of audio files and templates plus books and the folder full of notes

I’m sure you know that you should already have started to think about risk in your business and right now – safety risks

And we all know that ignoring something does not make it go away.

The issue is that the proverbial DOES happen and if you are an owner or a manager you are in the firing line.

Safety legislation is criminal law and Australia wide early next year you will lose your right to prevent self incrimination.  The fines are huge and there are also jail provisions in many cases.

Just think how your family will be affected if you get a $300,000 fine or more and possibly even jail and a criminal conviction . . .

… all because you did not want to be bothered with a safety management system.

You can get started and make a real dent in this problem when you grab a copy of my risk management workshop pack for only half price - only $368.50.  And this workshop also gives you help with your quality, environmental and carbon risks as well and you can use these when you are ready. 

Plus it is the first third of an integrated ISO system that gets you ready for as much as you want of ISO 9001 quality, AS/NZS 4801 safety and ISO 14001 environment,

This has to be the best value training course around.

This special price – only $368.50 will go up just before Christmas, in time for me to pack and post it to you so that you have it for the summer break so hurry.

My kindest regards
