Safety Consultant Recommendations Staffordshire

[LGP Eddie]

I'm currently looking to engage the services of a Safety Consultant to deal with the ever increasing demands from clients, and keep me on my toes.

 

I currently use a great guy, but he's not fully experienced in some aspects of my work, so Ideally I'm looking for someone who can cover a wide range of work types.

 

I'd prefer someone who's got practical experience and then gone this route.

 

Ideally close to North Staffordshire as possible.

 

Any suggestions gratefully received.

 

Thanks

 

 

 

Eddie.

Eddie - nothing beats personal recommendations but have you tried OSHCR? It isn't the only way of finding someone who is qualified and insured but it is a starting point. I would also suggest that you need to work as a team - finding an ex arbist safety professional will be a rare thing. We do come form all walks of life in the safety world and invariably know a bit about everything. But the best combination is to find someone with the knowhow to use your knowledge (as the 'expert') to achieve what you want - good docs with the minimum of fuss and a happy client. This means finding someone who you can work with - not someone you can delegate to IMHO. PM me for a call number if you want to know more about safety people and our qualifications and the register.

Thanks Steve, I'm absolutely not looking for someone to delegate to, or a box ticker so to speak.

I get involved in many types of work and someone who has actually done a bit is sometimes easier to bounce ideas of of what we can and can't be doing, plus when dealing with clients has understanding of the work environment.

 

My current guy is brilliant, but quite simply his main client base is Plant Hire and Civil's which obviously means when something like Forestry Mulching comes along, I'm putting a lot of legwork into what someone else would have a reasonable understanding of in the first place.

 

I really want to press reset for the whole systems I use and have someone look over the lot for me. I'm more than capable of holding my end up on a daily basis, but I'd like someone who would ideally be able to liaise with clients and also put in regular site visits to ensure all is in order.

 

I'll contact you to check out any prospective candidates if that's ok?

 

Many Thanks to those that have already PM'd me I shall be in touch.

 

Such a great resource here as ever.

 

 

Eddie.

Try Paul Elcoat he is absolutely brilliant and also one of the AA assessors so you can be assured he knows a thing or two. Email: [email protected]
