APT GROUP www.aptgroup.it

APT Group was founded in the 80s and continues to grow as a specialist entity in the fire-safety training sector. The experience, which we have matured over the years through contact with various public and private sector organisations, has allowed us to expand the services, which the group offers today. Amongst these are to be found consultancy and specialised professional assistance for the implementation of safety measures and norms in working environments. In addition there are those of a more technical nature relating to the realisation of fire-safety systems, routine and supplementary maintenance of fire-prevention installations and personal safety devices.

In 2013 the APT Group companies were formed into a Business Network to respond to the clients’ need for one sole point of contact and a “unique-solution” for the many diverse challenges in the sector.

VISIONWe raise awareness and promote safety. Our clients receive the highest levels of care in the workplace, through attractive, dynamic and avant-garde proposals. Those who rely on our services do so because they recognise APT’s excellence in the knowledge of world fire-prevention and safety.

MISSIONOur mission is to remain the bench-mark for operators/professionals in this sector both in Italy and abroad, through studies, research and development, in order to constantly renew the array of services that we are able to offer: professional development and training; technical assistance and maintenance; specialist consultancy and correlated fire-prevention activities; planning and implementation of fire-prevention systems. We realise ad hoc solutions; made to measure for the needs of every single client, thanks to the diverse competencies available in our group.The synergies that we have developed between our companies over the years allow our employees to operate calmly in a stimulating and gratifying environment, where they can develop their own potential and enjoy their work.

EMERGENCY AND EVACUATION PLANNINGTo best manage an emergency situation involving a fire the employer must adopt the necessary organisational measures. Thanks to qualified personnel and site inspections at the companies, evacuation plans can be drafted defining the escape routes, positioning of the fire-fighting equipment and the emergency procedures..

AUDIT OF EMERGENCY AND EVACUATION PLANS To evaluate the adequacy of procedures for managing fire emergencies frequent audits are necessary that analyse the aspects related to operative sites and their management procedures. They identify eventual failings and then recommend appropriate upgrades and improvements.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS UNI EN ISO 14001 Obtaining ISO 14001 certification is the result of the company’s desire to be more responsible and to monitor its own environmental impact. The drafting of management policy, assessment of the environmental impact and corrective action endorsed by expert consultants will make it possible to implement and maintain an environmentally management system.

SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMSOccupational health and safety assessment series (OHSAS 18001) Obtaining the OHSAS 18001 certification necessitates a thorough inspection of all the aspects of management inherent to health and safety within a company. The development of work plans and a manual, approved by expert consultants will enable us to implement a certified safety system.

RISK ASSESSMENT DOCUMENT FOR WORKING AT HEIGHTWorking at height is characterised by a high level of accidents. Working safely at height requires a risk assessment of every single task carried out by the client and an outline of suitable procedures to deal with every operational situation that an employee might work in.

RISK ASSESSMENT DOCUMENT FOR WORK IN CONFINED SPACES Access to confined spaces without the appropriate risk assessment is strictly forbidden and this is the reason for drafting a specific Risk Assessment Document. It contains a detailed analysis of the confined spaces present and a study of prevention measures and employee protection which are indispensable in order to operate.

RAPID ENTRY AND EXTRACTION FROM CONFINED SPACES AUDIT PROCEDURESExperience and the latest innovative knowledge of operative apparatus is the best shield with which to safely approach entering and extracting from confined spaces: a team of experts carry out an audit to assess the state of current procedures and to highlight eventual needs for upgrading them.
