SECTOR-SPECIFIC COMPLIANCE
We understand your production floor
Presses, cutting machines, COSHH stores and 24/7 shift patterns under one roof. Each with its own compliance demands.
Machine guarding and PUWER compliance
Presses, guillotines, CNC machines, conveyors. Every piece of work equipment needs documented risk assessment and maintenance records. Inspectors check guards first.
COSHH exposure across the process
Welding fumes, cutting oils, solvent vapours and dust from grinding. Exposure monitoring, health surveillance and LEV testing are legal requirements, not optional extras.
Shift patterns and safe systems of work
Lockout-tagout, hot work permits and maintenance windows. Most serious injuries happen during changeovers and handovers, not during normal running.
Workplace transport sharing floor space
Forklifts, pallet trucks and production lines in the same walkways. Segregation, signage and traffic management are the first things an HSE inspector looks at.
What you get as a partner
Know exactly where you stand
A site walk from an experienced consultant tells you what an HSE inspector would find today. No surprises, no guessing.
Pass inspections without the scramble
Your Competent Person prepares the evidence, reviews correspondence and briefs you ahead of inspections. Your business stays the duty holder, we make sure the work is done.
Meet regulatory requirements
Understand your legal obligations under PUWER, COSHH and MHOR, and how to demonstrate compliance. Know what an HSE inspector expects to find.
One named consultant, not a call centre
Same expert every visit. Direct line for urgent issues. No rotating faces, no ticket queues.
Two ways to work with Opus Safety

What non-compliance can cost a business like yours
£140,000
HSE enforcement fine
A Yorkshire metal fabrication company was fined after a 17-year-old apprentice suffered a crush injury on a metal cutting guillotine.
HSE investigators found a gap in the machine bed that exposed dangerous parts. A follow-up inspection uncovered further unguarded machinery and access to live electrical parts elsewhere in the apprentice workshop. HSE prosecution, March 2026.
