Health & Safety services, delivered by one experienced consultant.
From ongoing Competent Person cover through to fire risk assessments, DSEAR, CDM 2015, construction phase plans, environmental plans and quality management systems — every piece of work is carried out personally by Chris, with more than 20 years of hands-on industry experience behind it.
Health & Safety consultancy
Ongoing professional advice for businesses that need a competent, experienced Health & Safety adviser without employing one full time.
Health & Safety Consultancy
Straightforward, sector-relevant advice on your legal duties, your risks and the practical steps that actually reduce them. Delivered by Chris, not passed to a junior.
Competent Person Support
Your appointed external Competent Person under Regulation 7 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 — the professional advice the law requires, on a fixed monthly or annual basis.
Retained Health & Safety Support
Priority telephone access, scheduled site visits, annual reviews and help with client, insurer and accreditation questions as they arise.
Health & Safety Policies & Arrangements
A written Health & Safety policy, organisation and arrangements built around how your business really operates — required in writing once you employ five or more people.
Contractor Management
Pre-qualification, approved contractor lists, permits and monitoring so the people working on your premises are properly controlled.
Pre-Tender & Accreditation Support
Help preparing for PQQs, tenders, insurance renewals and accreditation schemes, with the evidence assessors expect.
Risk assessments & specialist assessments
Site-specific assessments written from what is actually happening on your premises — never a template with your logo dropped on top.
Risk Assessments
General workplace and task-based risk assessments covering your significant hazards, existing controls and any further action needed, in plain English.
Fire Risk Assessments
Suitable and sufficient fire risk assessments under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, with a prioritised action plan for the responsible person.
COSHH Assessments
Assessment of hazardous substances in use, exposure routes, control measures, health surveillance triggers and safer substitution where practicable.

Method Statements & RAMS
Combined risk assessments and method statements for higher-risk work, written so the people doing the job can follow them.

Construction & CDM 2015
Support for clients, designers and contractors from pre-construction information through to handover — on projects of any size.
CDM 2015 Consultancy
Duty-holder support for clients, Principal Designers and Principal Contractors, including pre-construction information and Health & Safety files.
Construction Phase Health & Safety Plan
A project-specific Construction Phase Plan, required for every construction project before work starts. It sets out the site rules, the significant risks, welfare arrangements, emergency procedures and how the work will be managed — written to satisfy client, principal contractor and HSE scrutiny rather than as a box-ticking document.
Construction Health & Safety Support
On-site advice, inductions, permit systems and scheduled inspections for principal contractors and sub-contractors.
Temporary Works
Temporary Works Coordinator duties, design-check coordination and permits for excavations, propping, formwork and façade retention.
Site Inspections & Site Audits
Regular or ad-hoc site inspections with photographic reports and a short, ranked list of what to put right.
Management systems, environment & quality
Documented systems that stand up to client audits, tender scrutiny and certification — sized sensibly for your business.
Health & Safety Management Systems
A practical safety management system covering policy, planning, implementation, monitoring and review — aligned to ISO 45001 principles where that is useful to you.
Health & Safety Audits
Independent gap analysis of your arrangements against current legislation, approved codes of practice and industry expectations, with a prioritised improvement plan.
Environmental Plan
A site or project Environmental Plan setting out how environmental risks will be controlled — waste and duty of care, spill prevention and response, dust, noise, water and watercourse protection, protected species and habitats, and pollution incident reporting. Frequently requested by principal contractors, local authorities and public-sector clients as a condition of starting on site, and a sound basis if you later move towards ISO 14001.
Quality Management System
A documented Quality Management System built around ISO 9001 principles — scope and context, responsibilities, controlled documents and records, inspection and test plans, non-conformance and corrective action, supplier control and management review. Suitable for businesses preparing for certification, or for those who simply need to demonstrate consistent quality control to clients and tender assessors.
Integrated Documentation Packs
Where a client asks for Health & Safety, environmental and quality documentation together, the three can be produced as one consistent pack rather than three unrelated documents.
Incident, investigation & emergency planning
Support when something has gone wrong, and planning so that it is handled properly if it does.
Accident & Incident Investigation
Independent investigation, root cause analysis and a defensible written report — including support if the HSE or your insurer becomes involved.
RIDDOR Reporting Support
Guidance on what is reportable, how to report it and how to respond to any enforcement follow-up.
