How is the service charged?

We charge on a monthly basis.

Is there any initial outlay?

In most circumstances - no. All development work including initial audits is included in the fixed monthly fee. This assists your cashflow, helping avoid large lump sum payments.

Is there a minimum contract term?

We ask that you initially commit to a 12-month contract, after which the service continues on a rolling monthly basis.

How does this service work?

We visit you to initially conduct a Safety Audit which identifies levels of current compliance and improvement actions required. This generates an action plan, with timescales agreed to suit you.

We develop your Safety Management System and documentation in partnership with you (specific to your requirements).

We regularly visit and communicate with you (both planned and ad hoc) to conduct further audits, provide support, coaching and guidance. Our support is provided both in-person and remotely to keep you on track.
