Independent health and safety consultancy for small and medium businesses across Kent. Risk assessments, H&S policies, audits, and ongoing competent person support — without the cost of a full-time employee.
From your legal documentation to on-site audits, we cover everything your SME needs to stay safe and compliant.
Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations, every employer must appoint a competent person to assist with H&S. We act as your named competent person, providing on-call advice and ongoing support.
Site-specific risk assessments covering your actual activities and hazards — not generic templates. We identify risks, recommend controls, and produce documentation that stands up to client and enforcement scrutiny.
A clear, legally compliant H&S policy tailored to your business. We write it around your operations so it's meaningful to your team, not a standard document with your name at the top.
On-site audits to check that your health and safety arrangements are being implemented in practice. We identify gaps, produce an action report, and help you close them before they become enforcement issues.
Yes. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and associated regulations apply to all employers regardless of size. You must have a health and safety policy (in writing if you employ five or more people), suitable risk assessments, and access to a competent person for H&S advice. ISOHS helps small businesses meet these duties in a practical, proportionate way.
The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require every employer to appoint one or more competent persons to assist with health and safety. A competent person is someone with sufficient training, experience, and knowledge to help you comply. For most SMEs, appointing an external consultant is the most cost-effective way to meet this requirement.
If you employ five or more people, you must record the significant findings of your risk assessments. Even for smaller businesses, written risk assessments are strongly recommended as evidence of due diligence. ISOHS produces clear, site-specific risk assessments that are practical for your team to follow.
ISOHS offers fixed-fee retainer packages for ongoing support as well as one-off project services for risk assessments, audits, and policy writing. Costs depend on the size of your business and the level of support you need. Contact us for a no-obligation quote.
