Health & safety managed by ex-inspectors.
So you run the business - not the risk.
We used to be the inspectors. Now we manage your health and safety - so nothing gets missed and you stay compliant.

The difference between advice and accountability
Most consultants tell you what to do. We become your Competent Person under UK law, taking direct responsibility for your compliance programme and its delivery.
Your competent person
Most consultants audit, report, and leave. We stay. As your Competent Person, we take active legal role in your compliance - not just the advice. Risk assessments written, audits conducted, training delivered. Whether we're your sole Competent Person or working alongside your existing team - you get outcomes, not homework.
Ex-enforcer expertise
Your assessments are written by ex-Environmental Health Officers and HSE Inspectors - people who've been on the other side of the inspection table. When the HSE visits, your documentation holds up because it was built by people who know exactly what they're looking for.
Real people x intelligent technology
You get strategic oversight from a dedicated consultant and real-time tracking, automated reminders, and mobile-first tools through Compliance Cloud. No more chasing spreadsheets. No more audit-prep panic. People and technology working together for you.
Sector specialists
Your consultant understands your specific hazards - not just generic H&S theory. FLT risks in a builders merchant yard. COSHH exposure on a manufacturing floor. Seasonal staffing pressure in a warehouse. You get practical solutions, not one-size-fits-all templates.
We do the doing
Risk assessments written. Training delivered. Platform configured. Actions closed. Whether you're a Partnership client or working with us on a one-off project, we bring the expertise and the end-to-end execution. Outcomes, not homework.
Sector-specific compliance
Builders Merchants
Yard operations, loading safety, and customer-facing risk management. We understand the unique challenges of trade retail environments.
Warehousing & Logistics
MHE-intensive operations, racking safety, and loading bay risks. You need someone who can induct peak-season temps fast and ensure your night shift isn't a compliance blind spot.
Manufacturing & Engineering
24/7 production, machinery guarding, hot work, and COSHH exposure. You need someone who understands the tension between output targets and keeping people safe - and how to manage both.
Garden Centres
Seasonal displays changing weekly. Family footfall alongside forklift operations. Food hygiene in the café. Whether you're one site or ten - your risks are real and your compliance matters. You need someone who sees the full picture, not just the obvious risks.
Metal Stockholders
Heavy lifting, cutting operations, and materials handling across indoor and outdoor yards. Crane safety, manual handling risks, and COSHH exposure from oils and coatings. Your consultant knows this environment - not just the regulations that apply to it.
Childcare & Nurseries
Safeguarding requirements, fire safety in buildings designed for small children, food hygiene, outdoor play areas, and regulatory inspections from Ofsted as well as HSE. Your risk profile is unique - your consultant should be too.

How Bunting Magnetics got compliance off their desk
Bunting Magnetics, a UK manufacturer with two sites, had tried three platforms - none delivered the end-to-end health and safety support they needed. They moved to Opus Compliance Cloud to run safety reporting, maintenance tracking, and training in one place.
