The simple answer is yes. Having at least one Competent Advisor is required by law, and with AW Safety, our team will ensure you receive a professional yet friendly, non-jargon-filled service to help your business meet its heath and safety legal obligations.
As a competent person, it’s our role to identify and assess workplace risks, recommend safety measures and help implement these measures to maintain safe working environments.
Receive support and advice on incident investigations, changing legislation and compliance documentation, all year round.
For businesses with 5 or more employees (yes, this includes directors and part time employees) each employer must have access to competent health & safety advice.

IOSH Managing Safely Training.
"I am in no doubt that AW Safety 's continued support has strengthened and developed our business and therefore I would highly recommend them to any company or individual."
Having considered our quick growth I was concerned about the level of support we were receiving from our Health and Safety company. With that in mind and the fact that I had heard of the excellent support that AW Safety provide to their clients, I made contact with Adam. At our initial meeting we discussed my plans, requirements and expressed my support for continuous improvement in health and safety. He suggested various short term changes including for example, regular site audits and a number of long term changes, including, a training matrix and training plan for Staff and Operatives. From the outset I was very impressed with the extent and flexibility of services provided and therefore we agreed terms to commence.
Site Audits have been found to be really positive and embraced by both our Management and Operatives.
As AW Safety work for a wide range of clients in various sectors and various size of businesses it is really positive that they adopt and share new and good practices, including passing them on to support and develop our business further. As they also offer in house training that has been found to be really beneficial.
I am in no doubt that AW Safety’s continued support has strengthened and developed our business and therefore I would highly recommend them to any company or individual.
I have had nothing but good reports back from the attendees.
They were particularly complimentary about your techniques and the way you put things across.
Certainly if I have any further needs you are on top of my list.
I think the whole process of getting the course done from start to finish was easy and well managed.
I am delighted with the support I have received from AW Safety. They have provided first class support for our UK wide engineering business that operates 24/7, 365 on life safety systems.
All of our queries from navigating complex construction protocols and support with bids and tenders to coordinating nationwide mandatory training was done to a high standard within our time critical environment. I will continue to recommend AW Safety to any business.
