Supporting Your Business Beyond Day-to-Day Compliance
Alongside our core consultancy services, A&T Consultancy provides a range of specialist health and safety services to help businesses manage workplace risks, maintain compliance and respond to changing operational requirements. Every service is delivered with the same practical approach, providing advice and documentation that supports the way your business operates.
Risk Assessments
Suitable and sufficient risk assessments form the foundation of effective health and safety management. A&T Consultancy works with businesses to identify workplace hazards, evaluate the level of risk and recommend practical control measures that reflect the way people actually work. Well-prepared risk assessments help businesses demonstrate how risks are managed, support legal compliance and provide employees with clear guidance for carrying out their work safely.
RAMS Preparation
Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) are often required before work begins, particularly on construction sites and contractor-controlled premises. A&T Consultancy prepares clear, practical documentation that explains the hazards associated with a task, the control measures in place and the safe working methods to be followed. Well-written RAMS can help businesses meet client requirements, support contractor approvals and communicate expectations to the workforce.
Site Safety Inspections
Regular site inspections help identify unsafe conditions, poor working practices and areas where standards have slipped before they develop into more significant issues. A&T Consultancy carries out structured inspections, provides practical recommendations and helps businesses address findings in a proportionate and achievable way, supporting continual improvement across the workplace.
Health & Safety Audits
Health and safety audits provide an independent review of your existing arrangements, allowing businesses to understand what is working well and where improvements may be needed. Audits can assess documentation, management systems and workplace practices, helping organisations prepare for client inspections, accreditation assessments and internal reviews.
Health & Safety Training
Employees and managers need practical health and safety knowledge that reflects their roles and responsibilities. A&T Consultancy delivers training that helps people understand workplace risks, follow safe working practices and contribute to a stronger health and safety culture across the organisation.
Health & Safety Policy Development
A clear health and safety policy explains how responsibilities are managed within a business and establishes the arrangements that support safe working practices. A&T Consultancy develops policies that reflect your organisation’s activities, management structure and operational risks, rather than relying on generic template documents.
SSIP Accreditation Support
Many contractors are asked to achieve SSIP accreditation before they can tender for work or join approved supplier lists. A&T Consultancy helps businesses understand scheme requirements, prepare supporting documentation and address any gaps before submitting an application, making the process more straightforward and organised.
Fire Risk Assessments
Fire risk assessments help businesses identify potential fire hazards, evaluate existing precautions and determine where improvements may be required. A&T Consultancy provides practical assessments that help organisations understand their responsibilities while supporting the safety of employees, visitors and premises.
Contractor Health & Safety Support
Managing contractors involves more than checking documentation. A&T Consultancy helps businesses establish practical processes for selecting competent contractors, reviewing health and safety information, monitoring work and maintaining appropriate standards throughout a project, helping reduce risks for everyone involved.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Our Health & Safety Consultancy Services
What does a health and safety consultancy do?
A health and safety consultancy helps businesses identify workplace risks, meet their legal responsibilities and develop practical systems that protect employees, contractors and visitors. The level of support can range from one-off advice and documentation through to ongoing retained consultancy.
At A&T Consultancy, we work with businesses across the North East to provide practical health and safety support that reflects the way each organisation operates. This can include carrying out risk assessments, preparing RAMS, undertaking workplace inspections and audits, developing health and safety policies, supporting contractor management and helping businesses work towards accreditations such as CHAS and Constructionline. We also assist organisations implementing ISO 45001, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 management systems.
The aim is not simply to produce paperwork, but to help businesses build workable health and safety arrangements that support day-to-day operations, demonstrate compliance and adapt as the business grows.
Does my business legally need a health and safety consultant?
Not necessarily. UK law does not require every business to employ a health and safety consultant, but employers must have access to competent health and safety advice. For many small and medium-sized businesses, outsourcing this role is a practical and cost-effective alternative to employing a full-time health and safety manager.
The level of support you need depends on factors such as the size of your business, the risks involved in your work and any client or contractor requirements. Businesses operating in higher-risk sectors, managing multiple contractors or tendering for larger contracts often benefit from ongoing professional support. A competent health and safety consultancy can help you develop suitable risk assessments, policies and procedures, keep documentation up to date and provide guidance as your business grows or regulations change.
Can you act as our competent health and safety adviser?
Yes. A&T Consultancy can provide businesses with ongoing access to competent health and safety advice through a retained consultancy service. This gives you a dedicated point of contact for day-to-day guidance, helping you manage workplace health and safety responsibilities without employing a full-time health and safety manager.
As your business develops, we can assist with reviewing risk assessments, preparing RAMS, updating health and safety policies, carrying out workplace inspections and audits, supporting contractor management and advising on client or accreditation requirements. Because every business operates differently, our support is designed around your activities, helping you make informed decisions and maintain practical health and safety arrangements over the long term.
What types of businesses do you work with?
A&T Consultancy supports businesses across a wide range of industries, including construction, manufacturing, engineering, commercial premises, offices, warehouses and growing SMEs. While every workplace has different risks, the aim is always the same: helping businesses develop practical health and safety arrangements that reflect the way they operate.
Support can range from ongoing retained consultancy to individual services such as risk assessments, RAMS preparation, workplace inspections, health and safety audits, contractor support and assistance with CHAS, Constructionline and ISO management systems. We regularly work with businesses throughout Newcastle upon Tyne, North Tyneside, Northumberland, South Tyneside, Gateshead and the surrounding areas, adapting our advice to each organisation rather than applying a standard template.
What's included in retained health and safety consultancy?
Retained health and safety consultancy provides ongoing access to competent health and safety support, rather than one-off advice. Instead of dealing with issues as they arise, your business has a trusted adviser who understands your operations and can provide practical guidance whenever it’s needed.
Depending on your requirements, retained support may include reviewing risk assessments, preparing RAMS and health and safety policies, carrying out workplace inspections and audits, advising on contractor management, helping you respond to client requirements and providing guidance following changes to your business or working practices. At A&T Consultancy, you’ll deal directly with experienced consultants who take the time to understand how your business operates, allowing advice to be practical, proportionate and relevant to your day-to-day activities.
Can you help us achieve CHAS or Constructionline accreditation?
Yes. A&T Consultancy supports businesses preparing for CHAS and Constructionline accreditation by helping them develop the documentation, systems and evidence required during the application process. The objective is to present clear, accurate information that demonstrates how health and safety is managed within your business.
Support can include reviewing existing policies, preparing or updating risk assessments and RAMS, identifying gaps in documentation and advising on the information commonly requested during accreditation. We also help businesses maintain their health and safety arrangements after accreditation has been achieved, making future renewals more straightforward and reducing the need to recreate documentation each time.
Do you support businesses with ISO 45001, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001?
Yes. A&T Consultancy helps businesses implement ISO 45001, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 management systems, carry out internal audits and prepare for independent certification. The focus is on developing management systems that are practical, easy to maintain and integrated into everyday business operations, rather than creating documentation that sits unused.
Whether you’re introducing an ISO management system for the first time or improving an existing one, we can help review your current arrangements, identify areas for improvement and support implementation. Our CQI/IRCA auditing qualifications enable us to assist businesses in preparing for certification audits while developing systems that continue to add value long after certification has been achieved.
How often should health and safety risk assessments be reviewed?
Risk assessments should be reviewed whenever there is reason to believe they are no longer valid or when significant changes occur in the workplace. This might include introducing new equipment, changing work processes, moving premises, taking on different types of work, or following an accident or near miss. Even where nothing has changed, regular reviews help confirm that existing control measures remain suitable and effective.
Keeping risk assessments up to date is an important part of managing workplace health and safety. As businesses grow, new hazards and responsibilities can develop, making periodic reviews a sensible part of ongoing health and safety management. A&T Consultancy can review existing assessments, identify where updates are needed and help businesses maintain documentation that reflects their current operations.
Can you review our existing health and safety documentation instead of starting again?
Yes. In many cases, reviewing and improving existing documentation is more practical than replacing it entirely. If your current policies, risk assessments, RAMS or safe systems of work reflect how your business operates, they may only need updating to address changes in legislation, working practices or client requirements.
A&T Consultancy begins by assessing what documentation you already have before recommending any changes. This helps avoid unnecessary duplication and allows businesses to build on existing arrangements where appropriate. The aim is to develop documentation that is accurate, practical and straightforward for employees and contractors to follow, rather than creating paperwork simply for the sake of it.
Do you only work with businesses in Newcastle?
No. While A&T Consultancy regularly supports businesses in Newcastle upon Tyne, our services extend across North Tyneside, Northumberland, South Tyneside, Gateshead and the wider North East. We work with organisations of all sizes, providing practical health and safety support that reflects the risks and requirements of each business.
Whether you need ongoing retained consultancy, assistance with CHAS or Constructionline accreditation, ISO implementation, workplace inspections or health and safety documentation, our approach remains focused on providing clear, practical advice and developing long-term working relationships. If you’re unsure whether we cover your area or the type of support you require, we’re happy to discuss your requirements.
Why choose an independent health and safety consultancy instead of a large national provider?
Choosing an independent health and safety consultancy often means receiving a more personal and consistent level of support. Instead of speaking to different advisers or working through multiple departments, you’ll usually have direct access to the consultants who understand your business, your workplace and the challenges you face.
At A&T Consultancy, we build long-term relationships with our clients by providing practical advice that reflects how their business operates. Rather than relying on generic templates or standardised processes, we take the time to understand your organisation, helping develop health and safety arrangements that are relevant, proportionate and easier to implement. This continuity allows us to respond more effectively as your business grows, takes on new projects or faces changing client requirements.
How do we get started with A&T Consultancy?
Getting started begins with an initial conversation about your business, the work you carry out and the support you’re looking for. This allows us to understand your current health and safety arrangements, identify any immediate priorities and recommend the most appropriate level of support.
Some businesses require ongoing retained consultancy, while others may need assistance with a specific project, accreditation, audit or management system. Following the initial discussion, we’ll explain how we can help and agree the most suitable way forward based on your requirements. Our aim is to provide practical, proportionate advice that supports your business both now and as your requirements evolve.
Can A&T Consultancy provide one-off health and safety support, or do I need an ongoing contract?
Yes. A&T Consultancy can provide both one-off health and safety services and ongoing retained consultancy, depending on your business requirements. Some organisations only need support with a specific task, such as a risk assessment, workplace inspection, health and safety audit, RAMS preparation or assistance with an accreditation application. Others benefit from regular access to competent health and safety advice as their business develops.
The most suitable option depends on the complexity of your operations, the level of risk involved and whether you require continued guidance. Where ongoing support is appropriate, retained consultancy provides access to experienced advisers who understand your business and can assist as new challenges arise.
