One of the key principles of God’s law is that life, especially human life, is valuable. One application of that principle
can be found in Deuteronomy 22:8
“When you build a new house, then you shall make a parapet for your roof, that you may not bring guilt of
bloodshed on your household if anyone falls from it.”
In line with this biblical command, our mission at Knox Thomas is to help businesses to take responsibility for the safety of others in what they manufacture, operate, and supply. To this end, we help others ensure operational safety and provide assurance to industry so that industry is able to do what it is meant to do: take dominion, generate value and bless others.
Powerful and productive tools are almost always dangerous tools, and there’s no way to avoid that. However, there are ways to make sure that the design, quality and installation of machinery doesn’t create unnecessary hazards. Therefore, one of the core services we provide to industry is carrying out PUWER assessments, which helps industry to assess the dangers associated with their machinery and plan how to mitigate them. More information on this kind of risk assessment can be found here: https://knoxthomas.co.uk/services/risk-assessment/ and you can download a free machinery checklist here: https://knoxthomas.co.uk/download-puwer-checklist/
At Knox Thomas, we are building for the long term—committed to serving others today and for generations to come. Our aim is to be industries’ first-choice independent consultancy for all compliance and safety needs within the next 10 years.
