Frequently Asked Questions
We have answered some of the questions businesses commonly ask before working with The Working Standard.
If there is anything else you would like to understand, just get in touch and we will be happy to help.
-
Getting started is simple. Use the contact form or give us a call, and we will help you understand the most suitable next step.
-
Yes. Many businesses are not sure exactly what level of support they need at the outset. A short initial discussion can help identify the main priorities and whether a one off piece of work, a wider review or ongoing support would be most suitable.
-
We offer both. Some businesses need help with a specific document, project, audit or client request. Others need more regular support. The right approach depends on what your business actually needs, whether that is one off work, project based support or ongoing advice.
-
Not always. Some businesses only need help with a specific document, tender, audit or project. Others benefit from ongoing competent person support. The Working Standard offers flexible one off, project based and ongoing support based on what is actually needed.
-
Yes. The Working Standard provides advice and documentation built around your business, your activities and the way you actually operate. The focus is on specific, practical support that reflects your real arrangements, rather than generic paperwork that could apply to anyone.
-
Yes. We can review existing policies, risk assessments, procedures, RAMS or audit evidence and advise whether they are suitable, current and relevant to your business.
-
AI can help create a basic draft, but it cannot verify your workplace, equipment, staff competence, working practices or risk controls. We can review AI generated H&S documents and advise whether they are suitable, specific and usable, or prepare the documents properly from the start.
-
Yes. We can prepare documents for you or review what you already have. We will identify gaps and help put suitable paperwork in place. This may include policies, risk assessments, procedures, RAMS, training records, contractor documents and audit evidence.
-
Yes. We can review the client request and help prepare the right documents or evidence, including policies, risk assessments, RAMS, insurance details, training evidence, SSIP information or contractor documentation.
-
Yes. We can help review the requirements, identify documentation gaps and prepare or improve the H&S evidence needed for SSIP or contractor approval schemes.
-
Yes. We can review your current evidence, identify gaps and help you prepare practical actions before an audit, client review or accreditation check.
-
No. One off support is exactly that. If you need help with a specific document, project, audit, tender or client request, we can agree that scope clearly without locking you into ongoing fees.
Ongoing support can be valuable for businesses that want regular advice and continuity, but it is only put in place where it is genuinely wanted and agreed separately.
