What’s involved in a Health and Safety consultancy?

The consultancy

Free Initial Consultation

At our first meeting we will consider your existing/proposed health & safety policy, risk assessments, safety management arrangements, method statements and staff safety training.

This allows us to highlight areas that may require particular or immediate attention. Please note that we will do this with you, allowing you access to every aspect of the process.

Inspection & Report

We will undertake an initial safety tour of your premises and provide you with a written report of good and poor practice. This is used as a baseline indicator to measure the effectiveness of our service at quarterly intervals. You will receive a written report supported by a photographic record of our findings.

We will also undertake a formal audit of your safety management documentation and if required provide you with a complete portfolio of template documents that can be the basis of your future safety management and evidence based files.
