Engineering & Manufacturing

Engineer out risk, keep output up. Production environments carry risks from machinery, maintenance and substances. We help you control exposure, improve systems and meet legal duties without slowing production.

How We Help

Production is unforgiving. We fit health and safety and quality into your flow, from shift handovers to changeovers, so the line keeps running while risks are controlled. You get practical controls, competent people and evidence that stands up to customer and auditor review.

Typical risk areas we help you manage:

  • DSEAR (Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations): assessments and hazardous area classification for gases, vapours and dust.
  • Noise and hand arm vibration (HAVS): exposure reviews with proportionate engineering and procedural controls.
  • Quality Assurance Management: support aligned to ISO 9001, the quality management standard, including gap analysis and implementation help.
  • Health and safety: policies, safe systems of work and inspections tailored to processes and plant.
  • Environmental management: waste, storage and spill controls that fit production realities.
  • Asbestos management: inspections and practical plans for older estates.
  • Targeted training: for managers, supervisors and operators, delivered on site, virtual or eLearning.
