Sound familiar?

You know you need to sort safety. You just can't justify a full time safety officer.

Most small businesses are stuck between doing nothing and paying a fortune. Here's where it usually bites.

"An HSE inspection is coming."

No competent person named

The law requires a competent person for health & safety. Without one on record, you're exposed the moment anyone asks.

"We can't bid for the work."

Tenders you keep losing

Bigger contracts demand risk assessments, policies and evidence you don't have, so you're screened out before you start.

"The last quote locked us in."

Trapped by the big providers

Long lock in contracts, call centre "advice", and pushy renewals. You want help, not a cage.

Simple from day one

How it works

No jargon, no long forms. Three steps from worried to covered.

1

Free safety review

A 15 minute call and a look at where you stand. You get straight answers on what the law actually requires, and what it doesn't.

2

Your plain English plan

We show the gaps and the simplest way to close them, with a fixed price. No surprises, no pressure to sign.

3

We become your safety department

A named engineer as your competent person, documents you'll actually use, and straight answers whenever something comes up.

Fixed pricing · no long lock in

Clear prices. No sales call ambush.

The national providers quote only after a sales call, then tie you in for years. We don't. You'll have a fixed price in writing before you commit to anything, and your notice period is set out in writing before you sign.

Before you ask

Common questions

Do I really need a "competent person"?

If you employ anyone, the law expects you to appoint one or more competent people to help meet your health & safety duties. We can be that person for you, on record from day one.

Am I locked into a contract?

No. There's no long lock in, and your notice period is set out in writing before you sign. The only thing keeping you is that it works.

We're tiny, is this overkill?

The opposite. Packages start proportionate to a small business. You get engineering grade competence sized for a bakery, not a factory.

What does the free review cost me?

Nothing, and there's no obligation. Fifteen minutes, straight answers, and a clear picture of where you stand.

Your safety is our priority. Let's make it simple.
