Audit every part of your system
Your consultant reviews your policies, risk assessments, safe systems of work and training records against current legal requirements. Then a physical site inspection checks whether what's written down actually happens on the shop floor. You leave with a clear picture of strengths and gaps.
One clear, prioritised action plan
You get a prioritised action plan with every gap ranked by severity, SMART actions, timelines and named owners. Compliance scoring tells you where to focus budget. Legislative reference against every finding. A board-ready executive summary - no 200-page document.
Know who's responsible and what to do next
A 30-minute walkthrough where your consultant talks through the results and answers questions from your leadership team. Annual review cadence built in to catch drift before it becomes an incident. 30 days of email support on implementation.

Kellaway
Sector-specific compliance
Builders Merchants
Yard operations, loading safety, and customer-facing risk management. We understand the unique challenges of trade retail environments.

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.
