Health and safety consultancy services are essential for businesses across all sectors, including:
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs): Companies that are growing or expanding and need to implement structured health and safety systems.
Larger Corporations: Businesses that require in-depth audits, complex risk assessments, or compliance with specific regulations.
Startups: New businesses that want to ensure their workplace is set up with health and safety policies from the beginning.
Construction Firms: Companies with high-risk work environments that need expert safety management.
Hospitality and Retail Businesses: Firms where employee and customer safety is paramount.

Businesses seek health and safety consultancy services for several key reasons:
Employers must adhere to local, regional, or national regulations, such as the Health and Safety at Work Act, COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health), and others. Consultants ensure that businesses meet legal requirements, reducing the risk of fines and legal issues.
Risk
Mitigation:

By ensuring that safety systems are well-implemented and followed, consultancy services help prevent accidents, reduce sick leave, and avoid costly lawsuits.
Health and safety consultants can provide training for your team, ensuring they are well-prepared to handle workplace hazards, emergencies, and comply with safety protocols.
Long-Term Planning:
Consultants can help with future planning when businesses expand, hire new employees, or change operational processes. They also support businesses during audits or certification processes.

Case Study: Strategic Risk Management Overhaul at a UK Fabrication Site
Case Study: Strategic Risk Management Overhaul at a UK Fabrication Site
Client: Medium-Sized Fabrication Facility
Location: United Kingdom
Employees: 60
Duration: 6 Months
Service Package: Business & Site Audit, Risk Register Review, Management System Update
When a UK-based fabrication company recognised the need to modernise its approach to risk management and compliance, 2020 Safety Training was engaged to deliver a full-site and business-level audit. The objective: to identify gaps, streamline systems, and empower the workforce with a clearer understanding of risk ownership and control.
Our Approach
Initial Business & Site Audit: We conducted a comprehensive review of the company’s operations, including site walkthroughs, document analysis, and interviews with key personnel across departments.
Gap Analysis & Risk Register Review: Using HSE best practice and industry benchmarks, we assessed the existing risk register, identifying outdated entries, missing controls, and inconsistencies in risk ratings.
Management System Review: We audited the full suite of health and safety policies, procedures, and documentation—highlighting areas for improvement and ensuring alignment with current legislation and ISO standards.
Policy & Legal Update: All core policies were revised and updated to reflect current legal requirements, operational realities, and best practice guidance.
Training Needs Analysis & Competency Profiling: We mapped job roles against required competencies and training, identifying gaps and creating a structured development plan for all staff.
The Results
Streamlined Risk Management: The updated risk register provided a clear, prioritised view of operational risks, with defined controls and ownership across departments.
Improved Legal Compliance: The revised management system and policies brought the site in line with current UK legislation and industry expectations.
Empowered Workforce: Through engagement and consultation, employees gained a stronger understanding of their role in managing risk—leading to improved reporting, accountability, and proactive behaviours.
Strategic Rollout Plan: A phased implementation plan was developed to embed the new systems, supported by internal champions and ongoing training.
