Fellow consultant Matt Welsman holds Graduate IOSH membership, NEBOSH Construction and Environmental certificates, and is a registered trainer for CITB, UKATA, and IOSH.

A Competent Person Appointment service is also available, allowing businesses to fulfil their legal obligation to appoint a competent health and safety advisor without employing one in-house, giving smaller organisations in particular a straightforward, cost-effective route to compliance.
