Barbour EHS legal register update for Mumford Wood

Maintaining accurate, up-to-date documentation is critical to demonstrating compliance with all relevant legislation.

In previous certification audits, Mumford & Wood encountered feedback pointing to gaps in their legal register, signalling the need for a more comprehensive compliance solution.

What they needed

Mumford & Wood recognised the importance of staying current with legislative requirements, but navigating these constant changes is no small task. Beyond merely gathering information, they needed to identify the specific regulations relevant to their business and ensure full compliance—a challenging feat without expert guidance.

Seeking a trusted compliance partner, they turned to online research, reviewing feedback from current users and comparing providers.

After an in-depth search, Mumford & Wood found Barbour EHS, a highly rated compliance solution. “Barbour always rated highly,” they shared.

They compiled a shortlist of potential providers and engaged in initial conversations, viewing system demonstrations to assess their options.

Following the Barbour EHS demonstration and support sessions, it became clear that while Barbour wasn’t the lowest-cost option, their system offered a robust combination of resources, ongoing support, and up-to-date compliance information that met Mumford & Wood’s needs.

What they did

The most critical feature of the new system for Mumford & Wood was the ability to quickly and easily update its legal register. The Barbour EHS team prioritised this need, compiling all relevant legislation into a streamlined, user-friendly solution.

To ensure the service was tailored to Mumford & Wood’s day-to-day operations, Barbour worked closely with the team members who would use it regularly. This collaborative approach allowed Barbour to fully understand the business’s practical needs and design a compliance tool that truly served its users.

Once the system was set up, comprehensive training followed—an essential step in maximising the service’s effectiveness. Barbour EHS guided Mumford & Wood staff through every feature, ensuring they felt confident and well-equipped to leverage the new system to its fullest potential.
