Safety Solutions Group

What Safety Solutions Group does

Safety Solutions Group is an Irish privately-held health, safety, and compliance services company founded in 1996 and headquartered in Blanchardstown, Dublin, with a regional office in Cavan. It serves Irish organisations across construction, infrastructure, property management, education, healthcare, hospitality, retail, pharmaceutical, and public services. The group operates four integrated service lines: Health & Safety Training (covering first aid, manual handling, construction, plant operations, fire safety, IOSH, and City & Guilds programmes, delivered to 7,000+ learners annually); Risk Management Consultancy (PSDP services, statutory documentation, property safety, fire safety, safety management systems, ergonomic assessments); Safe Cert (wholly-owned subsidiary providing statutory GA1 plant, lifting, and heavy equipment certification with a digital certificate record platform); and WIN — Workplace Instructor Network (an 18+ year-old online platform connecting PHECC- and Irish Heart Foundation-aligned approved instructors with employers and learners nationwide).

The company is distinguished by its regulatory credentials — ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001:2018 certifications, PHECC Approved Training Institute status, Irish Heart Foundation alignment, and delivery authority for IOSH, City & Guilds, and CSCS accredited programmes. Technology is functional rather than disruptive: a Safe Cert digital platform providing 24/7 client access to certification records, an online course booking system (safetysolutions.courseco.co), and the WIN marketplace form the core digital infrastructure. No AI/ML capabilities are evidenced in products or operations.

Safety Solutions Group generates revenue across four professional services streams via quote-based, pay-as-you-go pricing per course or per certification, complemented by ongoing consultancy retainers. GTM is sales-led and predominantly domestic, relying on direct engagement through website enquiry forms, telephone contact, on-site service delivery, and WIN network referrals. The company is founder/management-owned (with Rocco Bruno listed as founder/owner), with no disclosed external funding, no acquisition history, and no public listing. Senior leadership includes Managing Director Adrian Jackson, Risk Management Director Stephen Cooney, Operations Director Karen Roberts, and Commercial Director Edel McGoey.
