Injuries and major incidents have two things in common:
they never happen suddenly and
they never happen because of a single failure.
Every incident investigation of major (industrial) accidents reveals that these multiple failures had early indications that, if recognised and given the right priority, could have avoided the incident.
At the Reiger en de Spin we have niche expertise that helps you uncover and act on these early warnings.
You care about your employees. The last thing you want is for them to get hurt.
To help reduce employee injuries you probably already tried some of the standard (process) safety programs.
If these did not work, then we can help you.
At 'De Reiger en de Spin' we partner with manufacturing companies that need help in improving Process Safety and Occupational Safety. We will gain a thorough understanding of what is driving the injuries and other incidents and then help you avoid them.
Frequently the root cause lies with the unintended consequences of leadership behaviour.
Once we understand the root cause of your problems, we help implement tailored EHS solutions that will improve your safety culture, change leadership behaviour and engage your workforce .
Stop trying to manage lagging indicators like injury rate and start driving leading EHS indicators that make your safety program pro-active, with a leadership team that understands how to create a safe environment.

What's in a name?
'De Reiger en de Spin' is dutch and means 'The Heron and the Spider'. This is how you 'kinda' pronounce it: "De Ryegur ann the Spinn".
So why did we pick these animals as our company name and why of all languages did we keep it in almost unpronounceable dutch?
It's all symbolic:
The heron stands for wisdom, focus and transformation.
The spider is symbolic for curiosity, creativity and determination.
So there it is...these animals stand for what we do.
