Risk Management
Systematic, proportionate EHS risk assessment and management frameworks that help you identify hazards, evaluate risks, and implement controls that actually work. From one-off assessments to enterprise-wide risk management systems.
Why it matters
Risk management is the foundation of EHS
Every EHS management system, every compliance obligation, and every safety programme is built on a foundation of knowing what your risks are and having proportionate controls in place. Without credible risk assessment, everything else is guesswork.
Many businesses have risk assessments — but too often they're out of date, generic, or disconnected from how work actually happens. We help you build assessments that are meaningful, current, and owned by the people who need to use them.
We also help you move from individual risk assessments to a coherent risk management framework — one that integrates with your management system, satisfies ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 requirements, and gives leadership genuine visibility of EHS risk across the organisation.
Our approach
We use recognised risk assessment methodologies appropriate to your hazard profile — from simple 5x5 risk matrices for general workplaces to bow-tie analysis for major hazard scenarios. All assessments are:
- Conducted with input from workers and supervisors
- Referenced to applicable UK and EU legislation
- Documented in a practical, usable format
- Accompanied by a prioritised action plan
- Designed to be maintained and reviewed internally
Service scope
What we deliver
Our risk management service can be scoped to your needs — from targeted assessments for specific activities to comprehensive frameworks covering your entire operation.
Foundation
General workplace risk assessments
Baseline risk assessments covering general workplace hazards: slips and trips, manual handling, display screen equipment, fire, and workplace transport. Required by the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.
COSHH
COSHH assessments
Assessment of risks from hazardous substances under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002. Covers chemical, biological, and dust hazards, with control hierarchy recommendations and health surveillance requirements.
Operations
Operational & task-based assessments
Detailed risk assessments for specific work activities, machinery, processes, or environments. Method statements, safe systems of work, and permit-to-work systems developed alongside assessments where appropriate.
Environment
Environmental aspects & impacts
Identification and evaluation of environmental aspects and impacts for ISO 14001 compliance. Covers normal operations, abnormal conditions, and emergency scenarios, with legal significance determination and control planning.
Systems
Risk register development
Development of a structured EHS risk register that consolidates hazard and risk data, supports management review, and provides a clear picture of organisational risk profile and control effectiveness.
Framework
Risk management framework design
Design and implementation of an enterprise-wide EHS risk management framework, including governance structure, risk appetite definition, review cycles, escalation procedures, and integration with ISO management systems.
Specialist areas
Beyond standard risk assessment
Contractor and supply chain risk
Assessment of EHS risks introduced by contractors and supply chain partners. Pre-qualification criteria, contractor management procedures, and on-site risk controls for interfaces between your staff and third-party workers.
Construction phase health & safety
Risk assessment support for construction projects under CDM 2015, including pre-construction risk reviews, Principal Designer support, and construction phase plan development.
Emergency preparedness
Identification of potential emergency scenarios, assessment of their likelihood and consequences, and development of emergency response plans. Includes environmental emergency scenarios required by ISO 14001.
Climate-related physical risk
Assessment of physical climate risks to operations — flooding, extreme heat, water stress, and supply chain disruption — aligned with TCFD and ISO 14001 external context requirements.
