Financial Services Risk Management

Greencap is now part of WSP

The financial services industry commonly operates within an office-based setting, with a large, transient workforce over a wide geographic area.

Greencap has provided expert risk consultation to banks, insurance companies, lenders, investment firms and other financial institutions to both manage their own unique risk portfolio and to make informed decisions related to their clients.

Risk assessment of property, the environment, and employees is fundamental to compliance with health and safety legislation. A sound risk management approach is key to protect businesses from adverse events that compromise the health of people and reduce financial loss from injury or project delays.

Solutions to this include undertaking assessments and remediation of the indoor environment to determine risk from air quality, dust, temperature, mould and airborne contaminants. Similarly, mitigation of injury caused by poor office ergonomics, manual handling and slips and trips is crucial from a WHS perspective.

Preparation for emergency events, including warden training and evacuation drills, with the availability of visible emergency diagrams supports the organisation with the correct and safe measures to follow in the event of an emergency.

Property and environmental risk assessment can be confused by the complexity in ownership of responsibility between building owner, manager and tenants; creating a vulnerability to adverse events impacting on the health and financial conditions of a business.

As an independent assessor, Greencap can assist with legislative compliance, including the performance of audits on the presence of asbestos and other hazardous materials.
