Why Choose SafeWise as Your Health and Safety Consultants in Derby?

SafeWise look after health and safety for SME businesses around Derby and across Derbyshire. We act as your external competent person, can carry out your risk assessments and audits, keep your policies current, and support you through whichever accreditation a customer has asked you to have. We have doing this since 2012.

What Is an External Competent Person?

Every employer has to appoint at least one competent person to help meet their health and safety duties, whatever size the business is. That duty sits in Regulation 7 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. The regulation does not say that person must be an employee. Appointing an external adviser is a common route for a business that needs the expertise without the cost of a full time safety manager, and it is what most of our Derby clients use us for.

Risk Assessments and Safety Audits

Two things Derby businesses ask for by name. Your advisor can write risk assessments and method statements around the work you actually do, rather than handing over a generic set that falls apart the first time somebody reads it properly. We also run interim audits of your management systems and documentation, so you find the gaps before a client, an insurer or an inspector does.

What Your Health and Safety Membership Includes:

Initial consultation to review your current H&S compliance
A named safety advisor
Unlimited email & phone support
Your health and safety policy written for your business, updated annually
SafeWise named as your legally required H&S `Competent Person’
Free safety legislation sessions for your directors, managers and supervisors held monthly

Training and Certificates

Training is where most businesses find a gap, and it usually surfaces when a client asks to see certificates. Your advisor works out what your people are legally required to hold and what would be beneficial to have. Legislation sessions for directors, managers and supervisors come with the membership, and there are classroom courses and an online training platform for everything else.

H&S support is available as a membership. Health and safety on its own, or a combined membership with HR alongside it and an advisor for each. If the people side needs sorting too, see our HR consultancy in Derby.

Trusted by businesses across Derby and Derbyshire.
