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
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.

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.
