THE HEALTH AND SAFETY CONSULTANCY LIMITED

What THE HEALTH AND SAFETY CONSULTANCY LIMITED does

The Health and Safety Consultancy Limited is a privately held UK health and safety consultancy registered in England and operating from Gloucester (01452 area code), serving small and medium-sized businesses primarily across Gloucestershire and surrounding areas including Cheltenham, Stroud, Tewkesbury, Cirencester, and the Forest of Dean. Its core offering is proportionate health and safety compliance support, built around three entry points: a Start Up Package for businesses new to compliance, a RAMS (Risk Assessments and Method Statements) Package for construction and high-risk activities, and Safety Audits for businesses needing procedure overhauls. Complementary services span ISO Certification support, Fire Safety assessments, COSHH and dangerous substances management (including Legionnaires and asbestos), Training (first aid, manual handling, DSE), CHAS and Safe Contractor accreditation, and a catalogue of downloadable templates covering DSE, lone workers, first aid, and manual handling risk assessments.

The business model is a hybrid of subscription, professional services, and digital product sales. Clients can pay a £45 monthly retainer for ongoing advice and initial response to queries, with detailed work beyond one hour quoted separately at hourly rates set out in a Terms of Engagement. Project work is delivered by qualified consultants against upfront written quotes, with travel recharged at cost plus a 5% administration fee. Templates are sold as one-time perpetual licences (e.g., DSE at £12, Lone Workers/First Aid/Manual Handling at £25) and training is delivered via a dedicated training portal under separate Training Agreement terms. Distribution is sales-led and direct: the website, a Facebook business page, and direct phone/email contact are the primary channels, with no evidence of partners, resellers, or institutional sales motions. A basic member login portal provides registered users with quick guides and document templates.

The underlying technology stack is minimal: a static-ish ASP-based website with a member login area, a training portal, and downloadable document templates. There is no disclosed AI/ML capability, API, SDK, mobile app, or software platform beyond document templates and the member portal. The company has no disclosed headcount, no funding history, no named management team, no patents, no awards, and no strategic partnerships; ownership and governance details are not publicly available.
