Reportability assessment
We review the incident details against the 2013 Regulations to confirm whether a RIDDOR report is legally required and under which category - over-7-day incapacitation, specified injury, occupational disease, or dangerous occurrence. If you are unsure, we will tell you within minutes.
Submission and documentation
Formal HSE notification submitted through the online system within the legal deadline - fatal and specified injuries without delay, over-7-day injuries within 15 days. No over-disclosure that could complicate matters. No under-reporting that leaves you exposed. Written incident record structured to support your position.
Follow-up and prevention
Practical recommendations on site preservation, witness statements, and internal communication. Where the incident triggers a full accident investigation or HSE follow-up, we coordinate across services. We remain involved until the HSE closes the matter or confirms no further action.
Blended programmes
Combine on-site and e-learning for maximum impact - theory online, practical on site. Recommended for high-risk environments.

Sector-specific compliance
Builders Merchants
Merchant injuries such as strains, vehicle incidents and falls from loads often sit right on the reportable line. We judge each one against RIDDOR 2013, submit the report and advise on follow-up, so the paperwork is right while you look after your team.ts.

Warehousing & Logistics
Logistics throws up a steady stream of possible reports, from MHE strikes to bay falls and over-seven-day injuries, which makes consistent judgement hard. We assess each one against RIDDOR 2013, submit the notifications and advise on what needs to follow.

Manufacturing & Engineering
Manufacturing produces the injuries RIDDOR takes most seriously, including amputations, fractures and machinery dangerous occurrences. We judge reportability, submit promptly and tie the report to any investigation, so you meet your RIDDOR 2013 duties.

Garden Centres
Here's a nuance many businesses miss: an injury to a member of the public, including a child, who is taken to hospital from your site can be reportable under RIDDOR 2013, not only injuries to staff. We assess every incident against those public-injury rules and submit the notification.

Metal Stockholders
The serious injuries in stockholding, like crush injuries, fractures and lacerations from lifting and cutting, are exactly what RIDDOR 2013 expects reported promptly. We judge reportability, submit the notification and advise on the follow-up actions.

Childcare & Nurseries
Nurseries face a reporting question most sectors don't: whether a child's injury counts as a reportable public incident under RIDDOR 2013, on top of any duty to notify Ofsted. We judge what's reportable to whom and submit the notification.

Frequently asked questions
What does a Competent Person actually do?
A Competent Person takes legal responsibility for your H&S compliance. That covers risk assessments, audits, policy, training coordination and regulatory compliance. You get accountability for getting it done, not advice you have to action yourself.
Can you work alongside our existing H&S team?
Yes. Many clients use us to extend their internal capability - specialist assessments, regulatory liaison, and Competent Person cover during absences. We support your team, not replace them.
How quickly can you start?
One-off projects can typically be scheduled within days. Partnership clients have a named consultant operational within two to three weeks. Urgent situation - an HSE inspection notice, for example - we mobilise faster.
What makes your sector specialists different from generic consultants?
A generic consultant applies standard regulations. Our specialists know the specific hazards common in your industry and the enforcement priorities that apply to it. For builders merchants, that means forklift operations around public access. For childcare, it means Ofsted compliance alongside workplace safety. For warehousing, it means racking inspections and shift-pattern risk.
What's the difference between the Partnership, one-off projects, and Compliance Cloud?
The Partnership gives you a named Competent Person who manages compliance end-to-end. One-off projects deliver specific services without ongoing commitment. Compliance Cloud is the software platform for real-time compliance management. Many clients combine them.
