Finesse Consults Partners with NCOSHA Uganda to Empower Engineering Students on Safety
Finesse Consults Ltd had the honor of attending a critical Safety Workshop hosted by NCOSHA Uganda Ltd on Friday, April 12th, 2024. This joint event aimed to provide critical insights into safety procedures, with a specific focus on Engineering Students at Kyambogo University. The program provided a platform for the next generation of engineers to gain the information and skills needed to promote safety in all aspects of life. Nichodemus AGUMENAWE, a respected Technical Safety Consultant at NCOSHA (U) Ltd, delivered an informative presentation that was the workshop’s highlight. Nichodemus delved into the devastating facts surrounding vehicle accidents in our country, highlighting the urgent need for aggressive efforts to reduce such incidences. He emphasized that innovation plays a critical role in building secure settings. One of the more insightful sections of the workshop focused on the concept of emergency numbers. In a real-time demonstration, participants were asked to test emergency numbers on their mobile devices, with unexpected and alarming results. A later poll revealed that a large portion of students either did not use emergency numbers or had difficulty reaching out for help successfully. This observation caused Nichodemus to call for a fundamental change in how emergency numbers are viewed and used. Nichodemus emphasized three critical attributes for an effective emergency number: Availability: An emergency number should have a high probability of being reachable, ideally around 90%. Response Capability: The designated emergency contact should be equipped to handle emergency situations calmly and efficiently, without succumbing to panic. Medical Awareness: It is imperative that the designated emergency contact possesses knowledge about the medical conditions of the individual they are supporting. A heartbreaking statement from one of the students highlighted the common attitude regarding phone calls: “I rarely pick up calls, whether they’re saved numbers or not, and it’s even worse if they’re a random number.” This open revelation highlighted the need for a cultural shift that prioritizes the effectiveness of emergency communication routes. Following this eye-opening seminar, participants took proactive measures to address gaps in their disaster preparedness. Many students created emergency numbers for the first time, while others updated their contacts based on the workshop’s observations. Students were also tasked with informing their chosen emergency contacts about their role and duties, promoting clearer lines of communication during times of crisis. In the afternoon session, the focus shifted towards practical skills with first aid and fire safety training. Participants engaged in hands-on activities and simulations aimed at equipping them with the knowledge and confidence to respond effectively to medical emergencies and fire incidents. The interactive nature of the training fostered a dynamic learning environment where participants could apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios. Overall, the Safety Workshop organized by NCOSHA Uganda Ltd in collaboration with Finesse Consults Ltd served as a catalyst for promoting safety awareness among Engineering Students at Kyambogo University. By instilling a proactive mindset and imparting practical skills, the workshop empowered participants to become agents of change in fostering safer communities
How Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI) Enhanced Its Safeguarding Capacity with Finesse Consults Ltd
Safeguarding is the process of protecting people from harm, abuse, and exploitation. It is a vital aspect of any organization that works with vulnerable groups, such as children, youths, adults, and communities. Safeguarding also involves ensuring that the organization itself operates in a safe, ethical, and responsible manner. However, safeguarding can be challenging and complex, especially for organizations that work in the field of infectious diseases. Infectious diseases pose a serious threat to the health and well-being of people and the environment, and require specialized knowledge, skills, and resources to prevent, detect, and respond to them. That’s why the Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI) at Makerere University contracted Finesse Consults Ltd, a leading provider of safeguarding consultancy and other HSE services in Uganda, to deliver a tailor-made safeguarding training session for its staff. IDI is a regional leader in the research, prevention, care, and treatment of infectious diseases, such as HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, and COVID-19. IDI works with various stakeholders, such as government, academia, civil society, and communities, to improve the health outcomes and quality of life of people affected by infectious diseases. The Safeguarding Training Session: A Customized Solution The safeguarding training session was held on the 24th and 25th of January 2024, at the IDI premises in Kampala. The training session was designed and facilitated by Finesse Consults Ltd, based on the needs and expectations of the IDI safeguarding committee. The training session aimed to improve the capabilities of the IDI safeguarding committee, while also integrating perfectly with the unique nature and responsibilities inherent in the organization’s purpose in the field of infectious diseases. The training session was attended by the IDI safeguarding committee members, senior management, and key staff from different departments and units. The training session covered the following topics: – Legal Framework and Responsibilities in Safeguarding This topic introduced the participants to the national and international laws and regulations that govern safeguarding, such as the Children Act 2016, the Prevention of Trafficking in Persons Act 2009, and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. It also explained the roles and responsibilities of the IDI safeguarding committee, as well as the individual and collective duties of all IDI staff, in ensuring compliance and accountability. Roles and Responsibilities of OHSE Committee This topic explained the functions and objectives of the Occupational Health, Safety, and Environment (OHSE) committee, which is a sub-committee of the IDI safeguarding committee. It also outlined the roles and responsibilities of the OHSE committee members, as well as the best practices and standards for OHSE management and monitoring. Children, Youths, and Adult Safeguarding This topic explored the different types and forms of harm, abuse, and exploitation that can affect children, youths, and adults, such as physical, emotional, sexual, and financial abuse, neglect, trafficking, and radicalization. It also discussed the signs and indicators of abuse, the risk factors and vulnerabilities, and the impact and consequences of abuse. Environmental/Climate Change Safeguarding This topic examined the link between safeguarding and environmental/climate change issues, such as pollution, deforestation, biodiversity loss, and natural disasters. It also highlighted the potential threats and challenges that environmental/climate change poses to the health and well-being of people and the planet, and the ways that IDI can mitigate and adapt to them. International and Cross-Cultural Safeguarding Considerations This topic addressed the specific safeguarding considerations that arise from working in an international and cross-cultural context, such as cultural diversity, language barriers, power dynamics, and ethical dilemmas. It also provided guidance and tips on how to respect and uphold the rights, dignity, and values of different people and cultures, while also maintaining professional standards and boundaries. Culture Sensitivity and Inclusivity This topic emphasized the importance of creating and maintaining a culture of sensitivity and inclusivity within IDI, as well as with its partners and beneficiaries. It also explained the concepts and principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and how they can be applied and promoted in the workplace and in the field. Safeguarding Risk Assessment Procedure This topic introduced the participants to the safeguarding risk assessment procedure, which is a tool for identifying, analyzing, and managing the safeguarding risks and opportunities associated with IDI’s activities, programs, and operations. It also demonstrated how to use the safeguarding risk assessment template, which is a document that records and tracks the safeguarding risk assessment process and outcomes. The Training Outcomes and Feedback: A Quality Service The safeguarding training session was concluded with a certificate award ceremony for the IDI participants, who successfully completed the two-day training. The training session was a quality service, as it achieved the following outcomes: – Enhanced the knowledge and understanding of the IDI safeguarding committee and staff on the key concepts and issues of safeguarding, especially in relation to infectious diseases. – Strengthened the skills and confidence of the IDI safeguarding committee and staff on how to implement and monitor safeguarding policies and procedures, and how to respond and report safeguarding concerns and incidents. – Improved the collaboration and coordination of the IDI safeguarding committee and staff with each other, and with the external safeguarding actors and stakeholders, such as Finesse Consults Ltd, the government, and the donors. – Increased the awareness and appreciation of the IDI safeguarding committee and staff on the importance and value of safeguarding for the organization, its partners, and its beneficiaries. We are proud to share that the safeguarding training session was a fruitful and rewarding experience for both Finesse Consults Ltd and IDI, and we are looking forward to strengthening and sustaining our partnership and cooperation. We would like to thank all the IDI participants and our facilitators for their active and enthusiastic participation and contribution to the training session.

How Finesse Consults Ltd is Harmonizing Workplace Health and Safety in Uganda
Workplace health and safety in Uganda is a vital aspect of any organization, as it protects the well-being of employees, clients, and the public from potential hazards and risks. However, many workplaces in Uganda face challenges in implementing and complying with the national and international standards and regulations on occupational health and safety (OHS). That’s why Finesse Consults Ltd, a leading provider of OHSE consultancy and training services in Uganda, MasterPiece and NCOSHA, launched the Safety Catch-Up initiative in 2023. The Safety Catch-Up is a series of events that aim to bring together OHS professionals and enthusiasts from different industries and backgrounds to share best practices and insights on how to create a safe and healthy work environment. The Safety Catch-Up also serves as a platform for networking, learning, and advocacy for OHS issues in Uganda. It is open to anyone who is interested in OHS, whether they are employers, employees, students, researchers, or policy makers. The First Safety Catch-Up: A Tripartite Dialogue The first Safety Catch-Up this year was held on Friday, January 12, 2024, at URA Head Quarters in Nakawa, Sendaula Hall. The theme of this catch-up was “Harmonizing Workplace Health and Safety Implementation and Regulatory Compliance at Work: A Tripartite Dialogue”. The event was attended by over 150 participants both physically and online from various sectors, such as manufacturing, construction, mining, agriculture, health, education, and hospitality. The event was also honored by the Assistant Commissioner Administration, Ms. Ishta Nazziwa Kyambadde, who represented the Uganda Revenue Authority (URA) as the host organization. Ms. Kyambadde emphasized that URA, despite its focus and mandate on revenue mobilization, is aware of the looming threat of disruption, insecurity or health outbreaks that could endanger the lives of staff, clients and taxpayers alike. She commended Finesse Consults Ltd, MasterPiece and NCOSHA for their leadership and innovation in the field of OHS. The event featured presentations and a panel session on various topics related to OHS. The discussion kicked off by identifying common challenges organizations face in implementing robust health and safety measures. Safety professionals from diverse sectors shared their perspectives, setting the stage for a comprehensive dialogue. The panel session delved into a multidimensional analysis of workplace health and safety, including critical subjects such as effective implementation tactics and the use of technology to improve safety. A key issue was the delicate balance between protecting employee safety and operational efficiency, with the panel discussing potential challenges and presenting solutions to achieve harmony. Additionally, the importance of encouraging employee participation in the formulation and implementation of health and safety procedures was emphasized. The conversations easily shifted to managing regulatory compliance problems, providing insights into industry variations as well as practical mitigation techniques. The session shifted focus to assessing success using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and continuous improvement strategies, providing a full review of critical factors for sustaining a secure and efficient workplace among others. One of the speakers was our very own senior consultant and trainer at Finesse Consults Ltd, who delivered a presentation on the different types of hazards that could potentially harm the safety of employees and their property. He shared some practical tips and tools on how to identify, assess and mitigate these risks. The event also included a panel discussion, a question and answer session, and a group photo. The participants expressed their appreciation and feedback for the event, and many of them expressed their interest in attending the next Safety Catch-Up. The Benefits of the Safety Catch-Up Initiative The Safety Catch-Up initiative is not only a one-time event, but a continuous effort to raise awareness and improve OHS in Uganda.
