Health and Safety Consultancy for Ashford Businesses

Effective health and safety management requires businesses to identify hazards, assess potential risks and put appropriate control measures in place.

We can assist with Risk assessment, safe systems of work, emergency planning, incident investigation and the preparation or review of a Health and Safety Policy.

Our consultancy services also cover COSHH Assessment, DSE Assessment and Workplace inspection and audit arrangements. These help businesses review working conditions, identify potential problems and establish practical actions to improve safety. We provide recommendations that help managers understand which issues need attention and how improvements can be incorporated into everyday operations.

For organisations without a dedicated health and safety professional, our Health and Safety Competent Person service provides access to experienced consultants through telephone and email advice. Our Health and Safety Retained Service includes an annual health, safety and compliance audit with an action plan, helping businesses monitor their arrangements and address areas for improvement. Where closer involvement is required, we can also provide regular in-person assistance to complement your existing team.
