Most UK businesses are unintentionally non compliant. We don't just hand over a folder of PDFs. We give you a working shield around your people, your reputation and your directors.
of businesses we audit have critical compliance gaps they had no idea existed.
Real categories of HSE prosecution, simplified. Every one of these would have been picked up by an experienced consultant long before it became an investigation.
A maintenance operative suffered life changing injuries after reaching into a running line. There was no interlock guard, no safe system of work and no recent risk assessment.
A subcontractor fell through a skylight on a routine inspection. No edge protection, no permit to work and no evidence the operative had been briefed.
A visiting driver was hit in a yard with no segregation between vehicles and people. The traffic management plan had not been updated for over four years.
Thermostatic mixing valves had failed and were not on a planned inspection regime. The first time anyone noticed was after a serious injury.
A routine fire authority visit found blocked escape routes and no current fire risk assessment. Tenants were evacuated and the building was prohibited.
Demolition began before a refurbishment and demolition survey was carried out. Operatives and the public were exposed and the project was halted.

Large customers audit their supply chain. Demonstrable H&S maturity is what gets a small or mid sized business through procurement and onto preferred supplier lists.
Employers' Liability and public liability premiums respond directly to your claims history and the strength of your safety management. Brokers will use it.
Fewer incidents means fewer sick days, less downtime, fewer rebuilds and lower excess payments. The system pays for itself before the first audit.
People want to work, and buy from, businesses that look after their staff. Retention goes up, recruitment gets easier and customers feel the difference.
