EJ Safety Consultancy Services Ltd is an independent health, safety and environmental consultancy working with clients, principal designers, principal contractors and specialist subcontractors across construction, infrastructure, industry and the public and private sectors.
The practice has overseen all phases of multimillion-pound construction, infrastructure, superfund and environmental projects for both government and private-sector clients. That experience includes acting as the principal contractor's representative for all health and safety matters, developing and maintaining ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 management systems, investigating incidents to identify systemic root causes, and delivering training and cultural improvement programmes at site level.
We are appointed on a retained basis as a client's named competent person under Regulation 7 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, for the duration of a defined project, or for single instructions such as an audit, an investigation or a documentation review. In every case the fee is fixed and confirmed in writing before work begins.
Appoint us for the full competent-person function, or instruct an individual service where additional capacity or independent assurance is required.
