Health & Safety Advice

Operating a small or medium business comes with no shortage of demands on your time and resources. Maintaining robust health and safety practices may sound daunting, but it doesn't have to be. Our team of experienced health and safety advisors is here to provide the expert guidance you need to protect your employees and meet compliance standards—no matter your industry. We make it simple by handling everything from risk assessments and hazard identification to policy development and training. Whether you need help creating safety manuals, conducting accident investigations, or advising on changes to processes or premises, we become your trusted partner. Our priority is taking the complexity out of health and safety so you can get back to focusing on daily operations and growth. With customised solutions for businesses of all types, rely on us for affordable, reliable safety advice tailored to the unique needs of your workplace.

Risk Assessments

As a small or medium business owner, you know how vital it is to identify and control risks in your workplace. But conducting thorough risk assessments takes substantial time and expertise. Let our experienced team of risk assessment professionals take this critical task off your plate. We make the process easy by visiting your premises, clearly identifying hazards, analysing levels of risk, and providing practical recommendations to reduce those risks through improved policies, procedures, training and equipment. Whether risks arise from manual handling, hazardous substances, machinery safety, or any other area, we evaluate it through the lens of your distinct operations. Our goal is to produce customised, user-friendly risk assessment reports you can implement right away to improve workplace safety. Rather than get bogged down trying to manage complex risk assessments on your own, rely on our specialists for efficient, cost-effective assessments tailored to the unique needs of your business.


Policy & Management Systems

Maintaining robust health and safety policies and management systems is essential for any business, but it's also complex and time-consuming. Why divert your limited resources trying to build and manage these critical programs on your own? Our health and safety consultants specialise in creating customised policies, manuals, procedures, and management systems tailored to small and medium businesses across all sectors. We take the time to understand your operations and risks so we can develop practical, targeted policies that meet all legislative requirements while integrating smoothly with your existing processes. From writing policies and manuals to training staff and auditing systems, we become your partner in managing every facet of your health and safety programs. With our support, you can operate with full confidence that your systems are optimised for efficiency, compliance and risk reduction. Rather than struggle with the intricacies of health and safety programs, let our experts shoulder this burden so you can get back to what you do best - running your business.

Environmental Health


As a business owner, staying compliant with environmental health regulations can get confusing fast. Different rules govern issues like food safety, noise, waste disposal, water quality, and more. Our environmental health consultants are here to guide you through this complex landscape. We become familiar with your operations to provide tailored advice that ensures you meet all UK requirements in the most efficient, cost-effective manner. From assisting with health and hygiene plans to advising on ventilation, noise reduction, sanitation, and pest control, we have the technical knowledge to support businesses across all sectors. We can conduct environmental health audits and sampling, assist with implementing food safety management systems, advise on pollution and nuisance controls, and act as your liaison with Environmental Health Officers. Rather than expend time and resources trying to navigate environmental compliance yourself, turn to our specialists. We make it simple to put the right environmental health practices in place, giving you peace of mind and allowing you to focus on your core business.


Training


A robust health and safety training program is crucial for ensuring employees at all levels understand their role in maintaining a safe workplace. But developing and facilitating in-depth training can be a major undertaking for time-strapped business owners and managers. Let our team of experienced health and safety trainers take this important task off your plate. We get to know your business inside and out so we can deliver customised training courses that meet your precise needs. Whether you need assistance creating a general health and safety manual and induction for new starters, refresher sessions for existing staff, or specialised technical skills training, we've got you covered. Our blend of engaging workshops, hands-on demonstrations, e-learning modules, and onsite support enables us to train your employees thoroughly and efficiently. Workers gain the knowledge to perform their duties safely while managers and supervisors build their capabilities to lead effective health and safety programs. By relying on our health and safety training services, you can feel confident your staff have the skills to make safety an integral part of your workplace culture.


Audits and Reviews

Staying on top of regular health and safety audits and reviews is essential for managing risk and maintaining legislative compliance. But conducting rigorous audits takes significant time and a trained eye. Rather than stretch your limited resources, lean on our team to undertake these vital assessments. We have the technical expertise to audit all aspects of your health and safety management systems and workplace practices. Our consultants get to know your operations inside out so we can provide meaningful insights into where your program is working well and areas for improvement. We evaluate everything from policies and risk assessments to training records, equipment maintenance, and staff understanding of procedures. Our robust audit reports provide an objective overview of your current health and safety performance, along with clear, practical recommendations focused on reducing risk, enhancing compliance, and achieving best practices. By investing in our professional audit services, you can feel confident you meet your legal obligations while benefiting from an independent perspective on strengthening your entire safety program. Let us handle this intensive process so you can focus your time where it's needed most – running your core business.
