How we help

What is a Health & Safety Consultant?

Health & Safety Consultants are experienced professionals who use their knowledge, skills and experience to:

  • Promote a positive health and safety culture across an organisation;
  • Develop solutions to health and safety problems;
  • Ensure workplace risks are well controlled; and
  • Ensure the organisation is compliant with all relevant safety standards.

Organisations may employ an in-house person to take on this role, or they may choose to outsource their health and safety needs to an external Health & Safety Consultant. Not all organisations will have the resource to manage health and safety internally; however, by law, all organisations must have access to competent persons to help them to meet the requirements of health and safety legislation.

As such, organisations across the UK are recognising the value of fixed-fee Health & Safety support, which gives you access to expertise whenever you need it, without worrying about hourly rates or the significant outlay involved in employing an in-house member of staff.
