West Cornwall Pasty Co. to implement Trinity health and safety training system

UK fast food chain, West Cornwall Pasty Company Ltd (WCPC), is planning to introduce an innovative online compliance manager to help co-ordinate health and safety training across its expanding empire.

The Trinity online compliance manager, developed by Manchester health and safety consultancy, Shieldyourself, aims to provide businesses with a simple, effective way to store and monitor all compliance documentation online.

West Cornwall, which operates 62 locations nationwide and hopes to open a further 10 in 2009, is planning to invest in the technology to help ensure all its sites are operating to the same high standards of health and safety, fire safety and food safety.

Paul Corder, WCPC Operations and Support Manager, explained: “To improve on our current system of tracking health and safety compliance, we are planning to install Shieldyourself’s Trinity online manager, which will help standardise our compliance procedures across all regions as well as putting in place a proven system for any new stores.”

Shieldyourself has been working with West Cornwall Pasty Company Ltd for the past 18 months after the pasty chain contracted out its health and safety compliance procedures to the Manchester Science Park based consultancy in November 2007.

Shieldyourself take responsibility for all aspects of WCPC’s compliance from health and safety training through to fire risk assessments and food safety certification.

“We were initially brought in to implement our unique Shieldyourself diary systems, providing WCPC with a single, easy to use resource for logging and storing compliance paperwork,” commented Richard Dawson, Head of Account Management at Shieldyourself.

“On the back of that success, WCPC commissioned us to take on more responsibility so we now basically act as their one stop shop for compliance, managing all aspects of compliance and facilities services across all their sites and Trinity will allow us to add an additional level of support as WCPC grows.”

An online resource, Trinity enables multi-location companies to track staff training, monitor audit reports and store all compliance records such as PAT certificates, gas certificates and fire risk assessments for each of their sites.

“Trinity has proven to save clients money and time, increasing both compliance and operational measures as well as reducing the burden on general managers, and will be an added benefit to the expanding WCPC business,” Richard concluded.
