Safety and Risk Management

What Safety and Risk Management does

Safety and Risk Management (SRM) is a privately-held UK health, safety, and environmental advisory firm established in 1994 and based in Mirfield, West Yorkshire. The firm provides professional consulting services across three core practice areas: Occupational Health and Safety (acting as the statutory Competent Health and Safety Assistance under UK legislation, supporting OHS management systems to ISO 45001, and conducting OHS audits), Environmental Management and Support (ISO 14001 environmental management systems, auditing, and training), and Principal Designer/CDM services (CDM 2015 duty-holder support, Safety in Design integration, and Principal Designer role fulfillment). SRM delivers these services to organisations across the hospitality, construction, life sciences, manufacturing, energy, and education sectors, supported by IOSH-, APS-, MIIRSM-, and IET-qualified staff and a network of specialist associates.

The firm's underlying technology stack is minimal: there is no proprietary software product, no mobile application, and no public API. The website (safetyrisk.co.uk) serves as the primary digital presence and marketing channel, supplemented by a dedicated microsite (srm-principaldesigner.co.uk) for the CDM Principal Designer service line. Service delivery is built on the credentials and practical experience of its qualified advisors rather than on technology platforms.

SRM operates a sales-led, professional services revenue model with quote-based pricing tailored to client needs. The firm has no disclosed funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no recorded acquisitions; it appears to be an independent owner-operated practice employing 1-10 people. Its stated client base spans hundreds of organisations over more than 30 years, with a stated reliance on repeat business, and it serves clients across the UK with some stated ambition to operate 'further afield'.

Direct peers

• Peninsula Group: UK and Ireland provider of HR, employment law, and health & safety services to small businesses. Overlaps directly with SRM's competent H&S assistance and management system support, packaged as subscription rather than bespoke consulting.
• WorkNest: UK HR, health & safety, and ISO consultancy combining retained advisory with online tools. Overlaps with SRM's OHS, Environmental Management (ISO 14001), and ISO 45001 service lines, with a more tech-enabled delivery model.
• Citation Group: UK-based HR, health & safety, and employment-law compliance provider serving SMEs and mid-market clients. Directly comparable to SRM's H&S consulting and ISO 45001 support offering, but at significantly greater scale and via subscription-based fixed-fee pricing.
• Ellis Whittam: UK provider of HR, employment law, and health & safety compliance services. Comparable to SRM's competent-person H&S assistance and CDM advisory, with a focus on fixed-fee outsourced support for mid-market clients.
• Arco: UK-based safety products distributor and training provider offering H&S consultancy and qualifications. Comparable to SRM's H&S training and workforce competency support, though anchored in products rather than advisory services.

Broad incumbents

• DNV: Global assurance and risk management firm providing certification, training, and advisory services including H&S and environmental management systems. Comparable to SRM's ISO 45001/14001 and CDM-adjacent advisory work, but at significantly greater scale.
• WSP: Global professional services firm offering engineering and environment, health & safety consultancy across construction and infrastructure. Comparable to SRM's CDM Principal Designer and Safety in Design capability, but as part of a much broader engineering portfolio.
• SGS: Global TIC company providing inspection, verification, testing, and certification across H&S and environmental standards. Competes with SRM on ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 certification work, but operates at much larger scale and across all geographies.
• Bureau Veritas: Global testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) firm offering H&S, environmental, and ISO certification services. Compares as a much larger incumbent that competes with SRM for ISO 45001/14001 certification and audit work, but as part of a full-service TIC portfolio.

Emerging players

• British Safety Council: UK-based health, safety, and environmental membership and training organisation offering qualifications, audits, and advisory. Comparable to SRM's H&S training and competence services, with a not-for-profit / membership-driven model rather than pure consultancy.
