Comprehensive Health and Safety Consultancy

Maintaining a safe working environment requires more than simply having policies in place. Businesses need suitable procedures, effective risk controls and regular reviews to ensure their arrangements remain appropriate. Our health and safety consultancy services help Maidstone organisations identify hazards, assess potential consequences and implement sensible measures to reduce risk.

We can assist with Risk assessment, COSHH Assessment, DSE Assessment, emergency planning, incident investigation and the preparation of a suitable Health and Safety Policy. Our consultants can also carry out a Workplace inspection and audit, reviewing your existing arrangements and identifying areas where improvements may be required. Following an assessment, we can provide practical recommendations to help you prioritise actions and strengthen your overall approach to workplace safety.

For businesses without dedicated in-house expertise, our Health and Safety Competent Person service provides access to professional advice by telephone and email. The retained service includes an annual health, safety and compliance audit with an action plan, helping you maintain oversight of your responsibilities throughout the year.

Construction Health and Safety and CDM Support

With construction, refurbishment and property development projects taking place across Maidstone and the wider Kent area, managing health and safety is an essential part of successful project delivery. Foreland Safety Services provides specialist Construction Health and Safety support to help clients and contractors manage their responsibilities from planning through to completion.

Our CDM Support covers the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations and can assist clients, principal designers, designers, principal contractors and contractors in understanding and meeting their respective duties. We can advise on project documentation, construction risk management and the preparation of a Construction Phase Plan, helping ensure that relevant health and safety considerations are addressed before work begins and throughout the project.

We also undertake construction site inspections and audits to identify hazards, review working practices and recommend suitable control measures. For contractors seeking new opportunities, our PQQ & SSIP Support helps with pre-qualification questionnaires and Safety Schemes in Procurement applications. This service can reduce the administrative burden associated with demonstrating your company's health and safety arrangements during the tendering process.

Fire Safety and Specialist Risk Assessments

Fire safety arrangements are an important consideration for commercial premises, workplaces, managed properties and public buildings. Our Fire Safety services help organisations understand their responsibilities and take appropriate steps to protect people and property. We can undertake a Fire Risk Assessment, provide fire safety advice and carry out fire door inspections for buildings of different sizes and uses.

We also provide Legionella Risk Assessment services and management planning to help businesses and property managers assess and control risks associated with water systems. Combined with suitable workplace procedures and regular reviews, these services can contribute to a more comprehensive approach to health, safety and compliance.

Health and Safety Training and ISO Management Systems

Employees and managers need the right knowledge to recognise hazards and follow safe working procedures. Foreland Safety Services delivers bespoke Health and Safety Training tailored to the needs of individual organisations, alongside a range of established courses. Topics include Health and Safety Awareness, Fire Safety Awareness, Fire Warden training, Manual Handling, CDM Awareness, COSHH Awareness and Risk Assessment and Safe Systems of Work.

We can also develop Management Systems (ISO) to help businesses establish consistent processes, responsibilities and performance standards. Our consultants support the development of policies and procedures aligned with ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 14001 for environmental management and ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety. Where certification is required, we can provide guidance throughout the process.

For organisations that need ongoing assistance rather than occasional consultancy, our Health and Safety Retained Service offers continued access to competent advice and guidance. Where necessary, we can also provide more frequent in-person support to complement your existing team.
