Automotive

Showrooms and workshops move quickly. We fit risk management around service bays, bodyshops and customer areas, so technicians and visitors stay safe while vehicles move. You get proportionate controls, clear responsibilities and records that stand up to audits and insurer review.

Typical risk areas we help you manage:

• Health and safety: competent person support, reviews and audits, risk assessments, safe systems of work and site inspections.
• Accident and incident investigations: practical root-cause findings and actions you can implement.
• Fire risk management: assessments with prioritised actions for workshops, parts stores and public areas.
• DSEAR (Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations): proportionate reviews where fuels, gases or solvents are used, with zoning and sensible controls.
• Asbestos management: inspections and straightforward plans for mixed-age estates.
• Environmental management: storage and handling controls with simple records.
• Policies and training: clear policies, tool-box talks and accredited courses for managers and technicians.
