OHS Consultancy Services
Practical Safety Solutions. Stronger Systems. Sustainable Performance.
Managing Occupational Health and Safety requires much more than having policies, procedures and compliance records in place.
Organisations need safety systems that work in the real world—systems that identify risks before work begins, establish effective controls, define responsibilities, build workforce competence, support supervisors and provide management with reliable information for decision-making.
Safety Catch OHS Consultancy Services help organisations design, develop, implement and improve occupational health and safety systems that are practical, proportionate and suited to their actual risks and operations.
We work with organisations to transform OHS requirements into workable management systems, procedures, controls and improvement programmes.
Our consultancy approach combines professional OHS knowledge with practical industry experience so that recommendations can be implemented at the workplace—not merely documented.
OHS Consultancy
From Compliance to Effective Safety Management
Organisations often have safety documentation.
The more important question is:
Safety Catch helps organisations bridge this gap between documented requirements and actual workplace performance.
Our consultancy services are therefore designed around three principles:
Does the system actually control the risk?
- A procedure may exist, but workers may not understand it.
- A risk assessment may have been prepared, but actual site conditions may have changed.
- Training may have been completed, but competency may not have been verified.
- Corrective actions may have been recorded, but recurring problems may continue.
Practicality
– Solutions must work within real operational conditions.
Proportionality
– Controls should reflect the level and nature of risk.
Sustainability
– Improvements should become part of normal business operations rather than temporary safety initiatives.
What We Do
Our OHS Consultancy Services
Safety Catch provides customised occupational health and safety consultancy support for organisations, industrial facilities, construction projects, EPC companies, contractors and other workplaces.
Consultancy assignments can range from developing a specific procedure or risk-management programme to designing and supporting implementation of a complete OHS management system.
OHS Management System Development
An effective OHS management system provides the framework through which an organisation manages occupational health and safety systematically.
Safety Catch can support organisations in developing or strengthening arrangements covering:
The system is developed around the organisation’s actual operations rather than using generic documentation that may not reflect workplace realities.
- OHS policy and objectives
- Leadership and accountability
- Roles and responsibilities
- Worker consultation and participation
- Hazard identification
- Risk assessment and control
- Legal and other requirements
- Operational planning
- Safe systems of work
- Management of change
- Contractor management
- Competence and training
- Communication
- Document control
- Emergency preparedness
- Incident management
- Performance monitoring
- Corrective action
- Management review
- Continual improvement
ISO 45001 Implementation Support
Safety Catch supports organisations seeking to develop, implement or improve an Occupational Health and Safety Management System aligned with ISO 45001.
Support can include:
- Initial gap assessment
- Implementation planning
- Development of policies and procedures
- Hazard and risk-management frameworks
- Legal and compliance registers
- Objectives and performance indicators
- Operational-control procedures
- Worker consultation mechanisms
- Competency systems
- Internal audit preparation
- Corrective-action systems
- Management-review preparation
- Certification readiness support
The objective is not simply to prepare documents for certification.
Our focus is to help establish an OHS management system that becomes part of the way the organisation plans, supervises, performs and reviews work.
Formal management-system certification remains the responsibility of an appropriately accredited independent certification body.
Risk Assessment & Risk Management Consultancy
Effective risk management is at the heart of occupational health and safety.
Safety Catch can help organisations establish structured approaches to:
hazard identification, risk assessment, control selection, task risk assessment, job safety analysis, project risk assessment, dynamic risk assessment and management of significant operational risks.
Consultancy may include development or review of:
- Risk Assessment Procedures
- Hazard Registers
- Risk Assessment Matrices
- Job Safety Analysis / JSA
- Job Hazard Analysis / JHA
- Task Risk Assessments
- Activity Risk Assessments
- Risk Control Registers
- Critical-Risk Registers
- Risk Review Processes
Particular attention can be given to activities with potential for serious or fatal consequences.
The emphasis is placed on selecting controls according to the hierarchy of controls and reducing dependence on administrative controls and personal protective equipment wherever reasonably practicable.
High-Risk Activity Management
High-risk activities require strong planning, competent supervision and clearly defined controls.
Safety Catch can assist organisations in developing management arrangements for activities including:
- Work at Height
- Scaffolding
- Lifting Operations
- Excavation and Trenching
- Confined Space Entry
- Electrical Work
- Energy Isolation / LOTO
- Hot Work
- Temporary Works
- Heavy Equipment Operations
- Construction Activities
- Vehicle Movement
- Material Handling
- Commissioning Activities
Consultancy support may include procedures, risk assessments, permit requirements, competency criteria, inspection systems, checklists and supervisor guidance.
The objective is to make critical controls visible, understandable and verifiable in the field.
Permit-to-Work System Development
Permit-to-work systems are an important control mechanism for coordinating high-risk work.
However, permit systems can become administrative exercises when permits are issued without adequate field verification.
Safety Catch can support organisations in developing or improving permit-to-work systems covering areas such as:
- Hot Work
- Confined Space Entry
- Electrical Isolation
- Excavation
- Work at Height
- Line Breaking
- Lifting Operations
- Energised Work
- Radiography
- Other organisation-specific high-risk activities
Consultancy can address permit roles, authorisation levels, competency, simultaneous operations, isolation requirements, field verification, extensions, suspension and permit closeout.
HSE Policies, Procedures & Standards
Organisations require clear and practical documentation to translate management expectations into consistent workplace practices.
Safety Catch can develop and review:
- Corporate OHS Policies
- HSE Management Plans
- Project-Specific HSE Plans
- OHS Procedures
- Safe Work Procedures
- Standards and Guidelines
- Methodology Frameworks
- Emergency Procedures
- Inspection Procedures
- Audit Procedures
- Contractor HSE Procedures
- Training and Competency Procedures
- Incident Management Procedures
- Permit-to-Work Procedures
- High-Risk Activity Procedures
Documents can be customised to the organisation’s industry, project, operating model and contractual requirements.
Our focus is to avoid generic documents that merely satisfy a checklist.
The documentation should tell people what must be done, who must do it, how it will be verified and what happens when controls are not effective.
Construction & EPC HSE Consultancy
Construction and EPC projects present a constantly changing risk environment.
Safety Catch provides HSE consultancy support throughout different stages of a project—from mobilisation and construction through pre-commissioning, commissioning and handover.

- Excavation Management
- Electrical Safety
- Traffic and Logistics Safety
- Emergency Response Arrangements
- Project HSE KPI Frameworks
- Inspection and Audit Programmes
- Incident Management Systems
- Commissioning Safety Controls
- HSE Reporting Systems
- Project Closeout Arrangements
Consultancy can be provided for individual requirements or as a broader project HSE management programme.
Contractor HSE Management
Contractors and subcontractors can significantly influence an organisation’s risk exposure.
An effective contractor HSE management system should manage risk throughout the contractor lifecycle—not simply after contractors arrive at site.
This helps organisations establish consistent safety expectations across their supply chain.
Safety Catch can support clients in establishing processes for:
- HSE prequalification
- Contractor selection
- HSE tender requirements
- Mobilisation readiness
- Site induction
- Competency verification
- Risk assessment and method-statement review
- Permit-to-work compliance
- Equipment certification
- Contractor inspections and audits
- Performance measurement
- Corrective actions
- Periodic performance review
- Demobilisation and closeout
Behaviour-Based Safety & Safety Culture Improvement
Safe behaviour is influenced by the environment in which people work.
Leadership, production pressures, supervision, communication, peer behaviour, procedures, recognition and organisational expectations all affect the decisions people make.
Safety Catch can help organisations develop structured Behaviour-Based Safety and Safety Culture Improvement programmes.
Support can include:
- Safety culture assessment
- Behavioural observation frameworks
- Identification of critical behaviours
- Observer / champion development
- Leadership engagement
- Stop-work culture
- Positive reinforcement
- Feedback processes
- Behavioural data analysis
- Trend identification
- Corrective improvement programmes
- Periodic programme reviews
The objective is not to blame workers for unsafe behaviour.
The objective is to understand why behaviours occur and how the organisation can create conditions that make the safe choice the normal choice.
Safety Leadership Consultancy
Sustainable safety performance requires visible leadership commitment.
Safety Catch can support senior managers, project leaders and frontline supervisors in strengthening safety leadership practices.
Consultancy may address:
- Leadership expectations
- Management safety visibility
- Safety conversations
- Supervisor engagement
- Decision-making under operational pressure
- Safety accountability
- Leading indicators
- Management walkthroughs
- Stop-work leadership
- Learning from incidents
- Recognition and reinforcement
- Safety performance reviews
Leadership interventions can be integrated into broader cultural-transformation programmes.
Occupational Health & Hygiene Consultancy
Occupational-health hazards may develop slowly and can therefore receive less attention than immediate safety hazards.
Safety Catch can support organisations in understanding and improving arrangements relating to:
- Noise
- Vibration
- Dust
- Fumes
- Chemicals
- Occupational Exposure
- Ventilation
- Ergonomics
- Manual Handling
- Workstation Risks
- Health Surveillance Requirements
- Stress and Psychosocial Factors
- Occupational Hygiene Programmes
Where specialist monitoring or laboratory analysis is required, suitable assessment arrangements can be incorporated into the programme.
The objective is to move occupational health from reactive medical management toward systematic exposure prevention and control.
Incident Investigation & Learning Systems
An incident investigation should do more than identify who made a mistake.
It should determine why existing controls failed and what must change to prevent recurrence.
Safety Catch can assist organisations with:
- Incident Investigation Procedures
- Investigation Methodology
- Root-Cause Analysis
- Evidence Collection
- Interview Techniques
- Causal Analysis
- Corrective and Preventive Actions
- Lessons-Learned Systems
- Trend Analysis
- Incident Reporting Frameworks
For serious events, independent investigation support can help organisations obtain an objective understanding of underlying organisational, technical and human factors.
The purpose is to create learning—not blame.
Emergency Preparedness & Response Consultancy
Emergency arrangements must reflect credible workplace scenarios.
Safety Catch can help organisations develop and improve:
- Emergency Response Plans
- Emergency Organisation Structures
- Alarm and Communication Systems
- Emergency Roles and Responsibilities
- Fire Response Arrangements
- Medical Emergency Response
- Rescue Planning
- Evacuation Plans
- Spill Response
- Confined Space Rescue
- Work-at-Height Rescue
- Incident Command Systems
- Emergency Drill Programmes
- Post-Drill Evaluation
Emergency scenarios should be based on actual risk rather than generic planning.
The key question is not whether an emergency plan exists.
It is whether the organisation can respond effectively when normal controls fail.
Fire Safety Consultancy
Fire risk can threaten people, assets and business continuity.
Safety Catch can support organisations with:
- Fire Risk Assessment
- Fire Prevention Programmes
- Fire Protection Reviews
- Emergency Evacuation Planning
- Fire Equipment Requirements
- Hot-Work Controls
- Flammable Material Management
- Fire Safety Procedures
- Emergency Drill Planning
Recommendations are developed according to the nature of the premises, operations and fire hazards involved.
Electrical Safety Consultancy
Electrical hazards require systematic control across permanent installations, temporary electrical systems, tools and equipment.
Consultancy services can support organisations in developing:
- Electrical Safety Procedures
- Isolation and LOTO Systems
- Temporary Electrical Standards
- Inspection and Testing Arrangements
- Electrical Competency Requirements
- Electrical Permit Systems
- Portable Equipment Controls
- Electrical Emergency Arrangements
Electrical safety requirements can also be integrated into broader construction or industrial HSE management systems.
Work Equipment & Machinery Safety
Machinery and work equipment can expose workers to mechanical, electrical, ergonomic and stored-energy hazards.
Safety Catch can support organisations in assessing and improving arrangements relating to:
- Machine Guarding
- Equipment Safety
- Pre-Use Inspection
- Preventive Maintenance Interfaces
- Energy Isolation
- Operator Competence
- Safe Operating Procedures
- Mobile Equipment
- Material-Handling Equipment
- Equipment Certification
The focus is on preventing access to hazardous energy and ensuring that equipment remains safe throughout its operational lifecycle.
HSE Performance Measurement & KPI Development
Safety performance cannot be managed effectively through injury statistics alone.
Lagging indicators tell organisations what has already happened.
Leading indicators can provide earlier information about the health of the safety-management system.
Safety Catch can assist organisations in establishing balanced HSE KPI frameworks incorporating measures such as:
- Leadership engagement
- Critical-control verification
- Risk-assessment quality
- Inspection completion
- Corrective-action closure
- Training and competence
- Contractor performance
- Behavioural observations
- Permit compliance
- Incident trends
- Audit performance
- High-potential event learning
KPIs should provide management with information that supports decisions—not simply create additional reporting.
HSE Inspection & Assurance Systems
Routine inspection is an important part of operational assurance.
Safety Catch can help organisations establish structured inspection programmes defining:
what must be inspected, inspection frequency, responsible persons, competency requirements, inspection criteria, escalation arrangements, corrective-action responsibilities and closure verification.
Inspection systems can be designed for:
- Projects
- Factories
- Warehouses
- Workshops
- Construction Sites
- Equipment
- High-Risk Activities
- Contractor Operations
- Critical Controls
Digital or paper-based reporting frameworks may be incorporated according to client requirements.
Safety Training Needs Analysis
Training is effective only when it addresses the competency required to perform work safely.
Safety Catch can conduct Training Needs Analysis to identify:
mandatory training requirements, role-specific competency needs, high-risk activity training, supervisor development requirements, refresher requirements and gaps between existing and required capability.
A structured training matrix can then be developed to support workforce competency planning.
OHS Legal & Compliance Support
Organisations need a systematic method for identifying and managing occupational health and safety obligations relevant to their operations.
Safety Catch can support organisations in developing:
- Legal Registers
- Compliance Registers
- Compliance Evaluation Systems
- Inspection Requirements
- Certification Registers
- Statutory Control Frameworks
- Responsibility Matrices
- Periodic Compliance Review Processes
Where formal legal interpretation is required, organisations should obtain advice from appropriately qualified legal professionals.
Our role is to help integrate applicable OHS requirements into practical management systems.
Management of Change
Change can introduce risk even into mature organisations.
Changes in equipment, processes, materials, workforce, contractors, layout, production levels, technology or project phases can create hazards that were not considered under previous arrangements.
Safety Catch can develop Management of Change systems that require risks to be identified and controlled before significant changes are implemented.
A structured MOC system can address:
change initiation, risk assessment, technical review, HSE review, approvals, competency, document updates, communication, pre-start verification and post-change review.
HSE Management System Digitalisation & Reporting
Organisations increasingly require faster and more reliable visibility of HSE performance.
Safety Catch can help organisations structure digital HSE workflows for areas such as:
inspections, observations, incident reporting, corrective actions, risk assessments, daily assurance, permit monitoring, KPI reporting and management dashboards.
The objective is not digitalisation for its own sake.
Digital tools should make it easier to identify risk, assign responsibility, verify closure and provide management with meaningful information.
How We Work
Safety Catch Consultancy Methodology
Understand
We begin by understanding the organisation’s operations, people, processes, risk profile, contractual requirements and existing HSE arrangements.
Assess
Existing systems, documents, workplace practices and performance information are reviewed to identify strengths, weaknesses and priorities.
Design
Solutions are developed specifically for the organisation rather than applying generic templates.
Implement
Where required, Safety Catch works with management, HSE teams and operational personnel to support implementation.
Build Capability
Training, mentoring and practical guidance help internal teams understand and sustain the new arrangements.
Verify
Implementation can be reviewed through inspections, audits, interviews, performance indicators and field verification.
Improve
Findings, performance trends and organisational learning are used to continuously strengthen the system.
Consultancy That Transfers Capability
Our objective is not to make organisations permanently dependent on consultants.
A successful consultancy assignment should leave the organisation stronger and more capable than before.
We therefore aim to transfer knowledge to client teams through:
collaborative development, coaching, practical workshops, implementation support, mentoring and structured handover.
The organisation should understand not only what system has been developed, but also why it exists and how to maintain it.
Engagement Models
Flexible Consultancy Engagement Models
Different organisations require different levels of support.
Safety Catch consultancy can therefore be structured as:
Specific Assignment
For a defined requirement such as developing a procedure, risk assessment framework, contractor-management system or emergency plan.
Project-Based Consultancy
For larger implementation assignments with defined objectives, deliverables and timelines.
Periodic Advisory Support
For organisations requiring professional HSE guidance at agreed intervals.
Retainer-Based OHS Support
For businesses requiring ongoing access to professional occupational health and safety advice.
HSE Transformation Programme
For organisations seeking broader improvement involving management systems, leadership, culture, competency, assurance and performance measurement.

Practical Industry Experience
Our consultancy philosophy is grounded in real workplace and project safety challenges.
Integrated OHS Capability
Safety Catch combines consultancy, auditing and professional training capabilities, allowing improvement initiatives to address systems, people and implementation together.
Customised Solutions
We do not believe that one safety-management system fits every organisation. Our solutions are aligned to the organisation's actual operations, risks and objectives.

Management-System Expertise
Safety Catch supports organisations in developing structured and sustainable OHS management arrangements aligned with recognised good practice.
Risk-Based Thinking
Resources are focused on the hazards and system weaknesses with the greatest potential consequence.
Building Internal Capability
We work with client personnel so that improved systems can continue after the consultancy assignment has been completed.
Experience Since 2010
Safety Catch has been providing occupational health and safety training and professional services since 2010, supporting thousands of safety professionals and organisations across multiple industries.
Build a Safety System That Works Beyond the Document
Good safety management is not demonstrated by the number of procedures an organisation possesses.
It is demonstrated by what happens when work is planned.
- When conditions change.
- When a supervisor must make a decision.
- When a worker identifies danger.
- When a critical control fails.
- When an incident occurs.
- And when management decides what happens next.
Safety Catch helps organisations create OHS systems that support those decisions.
From Safety Documents to Safety Performance.
Whether you need to build an OHS management system, improve an existing system, manage project risks, strengthen contractor controls, develop critical procedures or undertake a broader HSE transformation, Safety Catch can develop a solution suited to your organisation.
