What Does a Health & Safety Consultant Do?
As your Health & Safety Consultant, HSE Specialists will take charge of all safety aspects in your business. We develop and manage your health & safety strategy so you can focus on running your operations. Our comprehensive consultancy service covers everything from legal compliance and policy development to audits, training and ongoing support.
UK law requires that any business with five or more employees must have a written health & safety policy and access to a competent advisor. Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, employers must appoint one or more competent persons to help them comply with their health and safety duties. A competent person has the training, experience, and knowledge to identify hazards and implement appropriate controls.
HSE Specialists fulfils this role as your external competent advisor. Our consultants hold NEBOSH qualifications, are members of IOSH (including Chartered Members - CMIOSH), and are IRCA registered auditors. This means we can provide competent health & safety advice that satisfies your legal obligations and protects your business.
"HSE Specialists ensured we were compliant with legislation and created a Health and Safety Management system for our business. I would not hesitate in recommending HSE Specialists."
