Statutory compliance, retained competent persons, active site inspections, and bespoke HSE HSG 65 safety management systems engineered for UK contractors and commercial directors.
Complete legislative and operational protection
Under Regulation 7 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, every British employer must appoint one or more competent persons to assist them in complying with statutory health and safety duties.
Safety Management Consultants Ltd acts as the formally appointed retained Competent Person for your business. This service functions as an externalised safety department—providing the high-level expertise of a qualified safety manager without the salary, pension contributions, and administrative liability of an internal employee.
Our consultants maintain active chartered and graduate status with the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH).
Contractual compliance for main contractors and vital risk protection under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.
Any imminent hazards, critical regulatory breaches, or dangerous practices are highlighted verbally to site managers and supervisors on the spot with actionable, practical solutions.
Clients receive an exhaustive written audit report documenting site physical conditions, photographic records of observations, positive safety measures, and statutory statutory citations.
Every audit item is graded by risk level (High, Medium, Low) with a target completion deadline, giving directors clear auditable evidence of continuous safety monitoring.
Fulfills principal contractor and client requirements for independent third-party site audits, safeguarding your organisation against HSE improvement notices and civil liability.
Under CDM 2015, a Construction Phase Plan is legally mandated on every UK construction project before the site is established.
Whether your project is a multi-million-pound commercial build or domestic refurbishment, a CPP is a statutory requirement prior to commencing work on site.
On domestic projects, client duties automatically transfer to the principal contractor. We structure the plan so contractors seamlessly absorb and fulfill these legal responsibilities.
Includes site induction forms, attendance registers, toolbox talks schedules, and high-risk permits to work (hot work, excavation, working at height).
Field-tested, applied, and refined over the past 30 years. Engineered to reflect shifting UK case law, statutory amendments, and commercial insurance underwriter standards.
Rather than supplying generic off-the-shelf templates, our policies are tailored specifically to your company’s operational profile—whether you operate in dynamic high-hazard construction, civil engineering, scaffolding, manufacturing, commercial property, or specialized sectors like funeral directing.
Audited and approved by SSIP assessment bodies, insurers, and local authorities nationwide.
Completing technical tender questionnaires can drain hours from your working week. We handle the drafting, policy compilation, and evidence submission.
We review the invitation to tender (ITT) or PQQ document, isolating every mandatory health, safety, environmental, and quality (HSEQ) requirement.
We collate your insurances, training matrices, accident statistics (RIDDOR), and risk assessment records into a structured compliance submission.
Our chartered consultants draft authoritative, high-scoring technical narratives that satisfy public sector and tier-one procurement scoring criteria.
You submit a flawless, compliant tender package on time, maximizing your win rate without taking your eye off site operations.
Our comprehensive library of operational health and safety paperwork is tailored specifically to your trade and ready for immediate deployment.
