H&S Consultancy & Retainers

Compliance managed all year round, not just when something goes wrong. Policies, RAMS, risk assessments and audits, built around your business and kept up to date as it grows.

Why it matters

You're required to have competent advice

Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, every employer must appoint one or more competent people to help meet their health and safety duties. For most SMEs, that means either building an internal team or bringing in external expertise — and a part-time or reactive approach tends to leave gaps that only surface during an incident, an HSE visit, or a client audit.

A retainer means someone is actually keeping your documentation current, not just producing a one-off pack that goes stale within a year.

What's included
  • Health & safety policy, tailored to your operations
  • Risk assessments and RAMS, kept current as work changes
  • Scheduled audits and site inspections
  • Incident support and reporting guidance (RIDDOR)
  • Direct access to a consultant for day-to-day queries
  • Updates when legislation or guidance changes
How it's priced

Retainers scaled to your headcount, not a flat fee

Every business carries a different level of risk and administrative load. Retainers are tiered by headcount so you're not paying for a package built for a business twice your size — and ad hoc work outside a retainer is charged at a straightforward hourly rate.

Ad Hoc

Pay as you go

For one-off documents, a single audit, or occasional advice — no ongoing commitment.

Tier 1

Small teams

Core documentation and an annual audit cycle for smaller trades and site-based businesses.

Tier 2

Growing businesses

Fuller retainer with more frequent audits, priority support and RAMS management as headcount grows.

Tier 3

Multi-site / larger teams

Comprehensive ongoing support across multiple sites or branches, with regular on-site presence.
