A health and safety consultancy has announced the expansion of a global network.
UK-based Arinite has expanded its network to over 50 countries and has also launched a new health and safety compliance software platform.
Global network designed to support multinational compliance
Arinite provides health and safety advisory services to over 1,500 businesses across many industries including technology, professional services, logistics and pharmaceuticals.
The idea of the network is to bring together qualified health and safety professionals worldwide so they can access local regulatory knowledge and maintain coordination of systems affecting global operations.
The company says multinational organisations often face challenges navigating differences in national health and safety legislation.
It adds that while many businesses maintain strong domestic compliance systems, requirements can vary significantly between jurisdictions.
Importance of combining local expertise with global standards
Robert Winsloe, Managing Director of Arinite, said: “Many organisations assume that compliance in one country automatically translates internationally.
“In practice, legislation differs from country to country, and organisations need both local expertise and consistent global standards to manage risk effectively.”
Arinite’s software is designed to incorporate regulatory frameworks aligned with the legislative requirements of the countries in which Arinite’s consultants operate.
Providing visibility across multiple jurisdictions
It is geared towards office-based and professional services organisations, including companies operating in technology, finance and legal sectors.
Brendan Tuite, Operations Director at Arinite, said: “The organisations we support want visibility into their compliance position and access to qualified expertise when complex issues arise.
“The platform is designed to provide both the digital infrastructure and the professional oversight needed to manage health and safety responsibilities across multiple jurisdictions.”
