We offer a full range of HSE services to meet all your safety and environmental needs. From risk assessments to accreditation support, our NEBOSH-qualified consultants deliver professional, cost-effective solutions for businesses across Newcastle and the North East.

Health & Safety Consultancy

Our comprehensive health and safety consultancy service provides everything you need to ensure your business is fully compliant with UK legislation. We act as your competent advisor, reviewing policies, developing management systems and providing ongoing support. Whether you need a complete health and safety overhaul or just expert guidance on specific issues, our NEBOSH-qualified consultants are here to help.

Fire Risk Assessments

All business premises and blocks of flats must have a Fire Risk Assessment by law under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Our qualified assessors carry out thorough surveys, identify fire hazards, evaluate risks to people, and advise on improvements. We provide detailed reports with prioritised recommendations and can help you implement the necessary changes to ensure your premises are fire-safe.

Risk Assessments

Under UK regulations, employers must identify hazards, evaluate risks and take action to eliminate or control them. We conduct comprehensive risk assessments covering all aspects of your workplace including general health and safety, COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health), manual handling, DSE (Display Screen Equipment), working at height, and more. Our reports include clear, prioritised recommendations and documentation templates.

Qualitative Face Fit Testing

Qualitative face fit testing (QLFT) is necessary for anyone using half-mask respirators such as construction dust masks. A qualitative test uses taste or smell agents to check if a mask’s seal is effective. It is a quick pass/fail check conducted by our trained testers. This method is widely used and cost-effective, ideal for routine testing of tight-fitting respirators in construction, manufacturing and healthcare settings.

Quantitative Face Fit Testing

Quantitative face fit testing provides more precise measurements using particle counting or pressure testing equipment. Methods include Ambient Particle Counting (APC) and Controlled Negative Pressure (CNP), which measure mask leakage and provide a numerical fit factor. This is particularly valuable for full-face respirators and where higher levels of protection are required, such as in asbestos removal or certain healthcare applications.

Environmental Consultancy

Our environmental consultancy service helps businesses meet regulations on waste, pollution control, energy use and carbon reduction. We conduct environmental audits, prepare ESOS/SECR reports, advise on sustainable practices, and ensure you comply with the latest UK environmental laws. Whether you’re looking to reduce your environmental footprint or simply need to meet regulatory requirements, we can help.

CHAS, Constructionline & Accreditation Support

We assist clients in achieving major certifications that open doors to new contracts. Our services cover CHAS, SafeContractor, Constructionline and other SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) schemes. We also help with ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 certifications. By working with HSE Specialists, you demonstrate to customers and regulators that health & safety is taken seriously, helping you win more work.

PAT Testing

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is a routine inspection of electrical appliances and equipment to ensure they are safe to use. While not a legal requirement, it is a recommended practice under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and demonstrates due diligence in maintaining electrical safety. Our qualified testers inspect, test and certify your portable electrical equipment, helping you maintain a safe working environment and comply with insurance requirements.

Health & Safety Training

We provide training and toolbox talks on key health and safety topics to ensure your team stays aware of hazards and maintains a strong safety culture. Our training covers manual handling, fire safety awareness, first aid, working at height, and many more topics. We can deliver training on-site at your premises or provide resources for you to cascade to your team.

Yes. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, all business premises and blocks of flats must have a suitable and sufficient fire risk assessment. The 'responsible person' (usually the employer, building owner, or occupier) must ensure this is completed and kept up to date. We provide fully compliant fire risk assessments with clear action plans.

Both CHAS (Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme) and SafeContractor are SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) accreditation schemes that verify your health and safety competence. They are recognised by major clients and help you win contracts. CHAS is often preferred by public sector organisations, while SafeContractor is popular across various industries. We can help you achieve both.

Risk assessments should be reviewed regularly and whenever there are significant changes to your workplace, processes, or workforce. As a general rule, annual reviews are recommended, but you should also review after any accidents or near misses, when new equipment is introduced, or when legislation changes. We can set up a review schedule for you.

If your employees wear tight-fitting respirators (such as FFP3 masks, half-masks, or full-face masks), face fit testing is a legal requirement under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH) and the Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992. Each wearer must be tested to ensure their mask provides adequate protection.

Yes, COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) assessments are one of our core services. We identify hazardous substances in your workplace, assess the risks to workers, and recommend appropriate control measures. We also help you implement safe storage, handling, and disposal procedures for hazardous materials.

We work across all industries including construction, manufacturing, healthcare, education, retail, hospitality, and facilities management. Our consultants have experience adapting health and safety solutions to the specific risks and regulations of each industry.

Yes, we provide comprehensive Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) services. Our qualified testers will inspect, test and certify your portable electrical equipment on-site. You'll receive pass/fail labels for each item and full testing certificates for your records. PAT testing demonstrates due diligence under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and helps maintain insurance compliance.

For most commercial premises, we can schedule a fire risk assessment within 1-2 weeks of booking. The assessment itself typically takes half a day to a full day depending on the size and complexity of the building. You'll receive your detailed report within 3-5 working days after the site visit.

Yes, our environmental consultancy covers waste management, pollution control, energy efficiency, carbon reduction, and compliance with UK environmental legislation. We can help you prepare for ISO 14001 certification and assist with ESOS (Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme) and SECR (Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting) requirements.

Absolutely. We offer training on a wide range of health and safety topics including manual handling, fire safety, working at height, COSHH awareness, and more. Training can be delivered on-site at your premises. We also provide toolbox talks and can create customised training materials for your specific workplace risks.

Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, employers must appoint one or more competent persons to assist with health and safety compliance. A competent person has the training, experience, and knowledge to identify hazards and implement controls. Our consultancy service fulfils this legal requirement, acting as your external competent advisor.
