Better is possible.

When something goes wrong in the workplace, it can be hard to find a safety company that will take the time to fully understand your business, or that you can trust. Smart Safety Solutions is that company for you.

Here at Smart Safety Solutions we recognise that not all businesses are the same. Every business is unique in not only what they do but how they are run and what their specific health and safety requirements are. This means that some of the “hot chocolate” off-the-shelf systems available in the marketplace today, while being cost effective, can be over-complicated and difficult to navigate, often shifting the focus from items of importance in the business to concentrate on risks or hazards that are not relevant to the core business functions.

Our systems are customised to our customers’ specific needs. We approach every business individually, meeting with key personnel and designing a system that focuses on the risks that are important to the business, not those that are important to other businesses and may be considered irrelevant risks. While not being the cheapest systems in the marketplace, our systems are meaningful to your business and enable easy buy-in from your staff, giving you peace of mind that all your staff are focused on the risks within your business.

Smart Safety Solutions can support your business with services that range from health and safety documentation and safety management systems right through to guidance and training for all levels of the business and everything in between. This enables us to support your business in the development of their safety culture and bring them along on their individual health and safety journey.

“I would have no problem recommending Smart Safety Solutions to anyone and also look forward to working with them in the future.”
