From practice for practice
Pragmatic solutions for your security.
You are not looking for grey theory, but for tried-and-tested, cost-effective solutions for occupational health and safety, environmental protection and technical compliance.
My promise: Your benefit at the centre
Measurable experience
Countless cappuccinos
My philosophy. Good advice is both invisible and unforgettable. I not only design optimal solutions, but also effective and efficient ones. Because security is convincing. Always.
Counselling
I have been advising entrepreneurs, plant managers, specialists and executives since 1996. My approach is clear: to translate complex regulations into understandable, realisable measures that make sense for your company.
- Practice-orientated: I come from practical experience and develop solutions for practical use. Comprehensible, direct and without unnecessary effort.
- Economical: My goal is your success. This means minimising risks, defending against liability claims and saving costs through intelligent, compliant solutions.
- Always up to date: Knowing what is important. Through continuous training of at least four days per month, I ensure that my advice is always up to date with the latest legal and technical developments.
My work is measured by the success of my customers.
Here are some proven successes
Savings:
Realisation of savings of up to eight figures through the development of alternative, compliant solutions.
Risk minimisation:
Successful support in the defence against liability claims.
Award-winning safety:
Multiple accompaniment of savings banks to the maximum premium in the UK NRW premium system for safety and health.
My counselling is based on the
DIN EN ISO 20700.
No gossip. No speculation.
Process
Whether it's occupational health and safety, operator obligations or other technical compliance, this is how we get from analysis to implementation
1. ANALYSE & UNDERSTAND
We start with an in-depth analysis of your goals, your environment and your requirements. This is the point at which I ask a lot of questions - and probably sketch out a few ideas for solutions.
2. STRUCTURE & STRATEGY
Before we jump into implementation, we lay the foundations: process architecture, workflows, guidelines - all the things that ensure that the final solution works.
3. revision & development
This is where the magic happens. I explore potential paths, create concepts and refine them based on your feedback until everything fits perfectly.
4. IMPLEMENTATION & SUPPORT
We test, refine and go live - and I'm there for you if you need support, training or other assistance after implementation.
