2. Tired of Health and Safety Red tape?
- “If so,We Can Help”
If you’re tired of the bureaucracy associated with health and safety and need
help from a company that has a pragmatic approach, who is also tired of
some of the myths in the industry, then we can help.
On its own, paperwork never saved anyone. So we don’t believe in tying you
up in superfluous red tape, or hindering you in your workplace activities. If
you think the only way to meet health and safety standards is to be ruled by
it, think again.
Not only will we make health and safety an engaging workplace topic, we
also guarantee to ensure our services are provided at a reasonable cost.
About SMC
Safety Management Consultancy Ltd is an independent company and was set up to provide
sensible, yet specialist services in the field of health and safety training and consultancy
services for a wide variety of industry sectors.
Based in the North West of England but with a UK and global spread, we are determined to
change businesses and working peoples impression of health and safety for the better.
All our consultants are handpicked for not only their technical competence, but also their
enthusiastic and dynamic approach to delivering consultancy and training services.
Where in-house resources are not available directly, for example, specialist noise surveys,
services are networked with a small group of similar independent companies known to
provide a reliable service based on established working relationships. In this way clients receive
a ‘One-stop’ service for their health and safety management needs.
Our commitment to quality innovation and performance is as important to us as our
commitment to providing dynamic, yet reasonable, safety solutions.
3. Training Courses
“The trainer’s enthusiasm shone through”
Health and safety instruction is an important aspect of any organisation's training strategy -
to prevent accidents, to maintain a healthy workforce, to comply with current legislation, and
to act as a defence in civil claims litigation. But it should also be enjoyable! That means
learning using fresh techniques and an engaging approach.

convenience in the comfort of your own premises. All our courses can be delivered at your
own sites.
