New Business & New Sites

Helping new businesses and sites get off the ground with tailored services.

For new businesses or sites, I offer complete support in setting up health and safety from the ground up. This includes creating tailored policies, carrying out site walkarounds, conducting risk assessments, and providing practical advice on implementing effective systems. I can work within your existing infrastructure or design low-cost solutions using free tools such as Google Forms and Microsoft applications, ensuring compliance without unnecessary expense. My approach focuses on making safety systems practical, efficient, and sustainable for your business from day one.

Legal:

MHSWR 1999, Regulations 3 & 5:
Employers must assess risks and make arrangements for effective health and safety management.
Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM):
- Regulation 8 – General duties: Duty holders must have the skills, knowledge, and experience to carry out work safely.
- Regulation 15 – Construction phase plan: Requires identification and control of site-specific risks before work starts.
HASAWA 1974, Sections 2 and 3:
Require employers and self-employed persons to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that their work does not endanger others.

When starting a new business, opening a new site, or beginning a new project, employers must ensure all significant risks are assessed and that Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) are prepared before work begins. These demonstrate that hazards have been identified, risks controlled, and safe systems of work implemented.
If your team is focused on operational setup or project delivery, Safety Objectives can prepare all necessary risk assessments and RAMS on your behalf, ensuring legal compliance and a smooth start-up process managed by a competent person.
