SafeWise are health and safety consultants based at Hilton Hall in Wolverhampton, working with small and medium sized businesses across the city and the wider West Midlands. We hold the competent person duty for you, write the assessments and policies, and run the training courses your people need. This is our home patch, not a postcode on a list.
Based in Wolverhampton, Not Just Covering It
Our office is at Hilton Hall, Essington. As we're based in Wolverhampton, it makes site visits, inspections and face to face training straightforward rather than something that gets scheduled around a long drive. You will have an expert H&S advisor supporting you at your location who is a short drive away rather than half a day of travel.
The Courses We Run
The classroom courses we run include first aid at work over three days, the two day refresher and emergency first aid at work; fire marshal training; IOSH Managing Safely; abrasive wheels; manual handling; asbestos awareness; ladders and steps; PASMA and IPAF; scaffold inspection; confined space entry and awareness; and the CITB site safety schemes including SSSTS and SMSTS. There is an online training platform as well for the subjects that suit it. The full list is on our training courses page.

Fire Risk Assessments
A fire risk assessment is a legal requirement for business premises under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it has to be carried out by a competent person, and it has to be kept up to date. Our qualified assessors visit the premises and work through your fire safety documentation, the exit routes, emergency lighting and alarms, the sources of ignition and fuel, and anyone at particular risk. What you get back is the significant findings and an action plan, with an annual reassessment to keep it current. Find out more about our fire risk assessments support.
Getting Accredited
If a main contractor has asked for CHAS, SMAS, Safecontractor, Constructionline, CQMS or Altius, we put the submission together and answer the assessor when they come back with questions. Details are on our safety accreditation support page.
Health and Safety cover is bought as a membership. If you need both, the combined membership gives you an expert advisor for both HR and Health & Safety.
Trusted by businesses across Wolverhampton and the West Midlands.
