Medway has a varied business landscape, encompassing construction, manufacturing, industrial operations, education, hospitality, retail and property management.

Whether you need help with a specific compliance issue or require ongoing professional guidance, Foreland Safety Services can develop a solution that works for your business. Visit our services page to discover the support available.
Effective health and safety management starts with understanding the risks associated with your workplace and putting appropriate controls in place. Our consultants support Medway businesses with Risk assessment, safe systems of work, emergency planning, incident investigation and the preparation of a suitable Health and Safety Policy. We work collaboratively with clients to ensure documentation reflects their actual working practices rather than simply providing generic paperwork.
Our services also include COSHH Assessment, DSE Assessment and Workplace inspection and audit arrangements. These help organisations review how work is carried out, identify potential hazards and establish practical improvements. Following an inspection or assessment, we can provide recommendations to help you prioritise corrective actions and maintain appropriate records.
For organisations without dedicated internal expertise, our Health and Safety Competent Person service provides access to experienced consultants for telephone and email advice. Our Health and Safety Retained Service also includes an annual health, safety and compliance audit with an action plan. Where a business needs more regular involvement, we can provide additional in-person support to complement existing staff and management teams.
Construction and property development create a range of health and safety responsibilities, from initial project planning to the completion of work on site. Foreland Safety Services provides Construction Health and Safety support to businesses operating across Medway, helping them manage risks and understand their obligations under relevant legislation.
Our CDM Support service assists clients, principal designers, designers, principal contractors and contractors with their duties under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations. We can advise on project arrangements, health and safety documentation and the preparation of a Construction Phase Plan. Our consultants can also carry out site inspections and audits to identify hazards, assess existing controls and recommend improvements.
For construction businesses seeking contracts or working with larger organisations, our PQQ & SSIP Support helps with pre-qualification questionnaires and Safety Schemes in Procurement applications. We can assist you in preparing the relevant information and demonstrating your health and safety arrangements, helping reduce the administrative burden associated with tendering and contractor assessment.
Businesses, landlords and property managers must give appropriate attention to fire precautions and the safety of people using their premises. Our Fire Safety services help organisations review their arrangements, understand their responsibilities and identify areas where improvements may be needed.
We undertake Fire Risk Assessment work to help identify potential fire hazards, evaluate the risks to relevant people and establish suitable precautions. We also provide fire safety advice and fire door inspections for buildings of different sizes and uses. Our approach focuses on practical recommendations that can be incorporated into everyday building management and workplace procedures.
In addition, we provide Legionella Risk Assessment services and management planning to help businesses and property managers assess risks associated with water systems. These services can form part of a wider compliance programme, alongside suitable monitoring, maintenance and review arrangements.
Well-informed employees are essential to maintaining safe working environments. Foreland Safety Services delivers bespoke Health and Safety Training that reflects the needs of your organisation, workforce and industry. Available topics include Health and Safety Awareness, Health and Safety for Managers, Fire Safety Awareness, Fire Warden training, Manual Handling, CDM Awareness, COSHH Awareness and Risk Assessment and Safe Systems of Work.
We can also help Medway organisations develop Management Systems (ISO) that support consistent processes, clear responsibilities and improved business performance. Our consultants can prepare policies, procedures and supporting documentation aligned with ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 14001 for environmental management and ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety. If your organisation intends to pursue certification, we can provide guidance throughout the process.
Whether you need a single training course, assistance with documentation or ongoing health and safety advice, our services can be adapted to suit your requirements and available resources.
Foreland Safety Services believes that good compliance should support the way a business operates. We work with organisations of different sizes to reduce risk, improve processes and develop a workplace culture where safety responsibilities are understood and taken seriously. Our consultants provide practical, cost-effective guidance designed around your business rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
