ONGOING OR DEFINED SUPPORT

Access reliable advice without building a full internal team

We provide a named professional contact for the health and safety matters included in your agreement. The service sets out what advice is covered, how requests are prioritised and when specialist input or urgent escalation is needed.

Common questions

Does this transfer our legal duties?

No. The organisation and its duty holders retain their responsibilities. The service gives access to advice and support within the agreed scope.

Which sectors do you cover?

We assess fit against the work, hazards, jurisdiction and competence required. Where additional sector-specific expertise is needed, we may engage appropriately qualified associates or specialists.
