Health & safety in Colchester: what we see most

Many north Essex businesses are family-owned manufacturers that have grown quickly: new machinery, extra shifts and a bigger yard, but paperwork that still reflects how things were five years ago. We bring fire, transport, machinery and COSHH arrangements up to date and set a review cycle so they stay that way.

Sectors we support
  • Joinery, windows & doors
  • Manufacturing
  • Warehousing & distribution
  • Food & drink
  • Construction trades
  • Offices
Also covering

Tiptree · Maldon · Witham · Braintree · Halstead · Coggeshall · Brightlingsea · Manningtree

FAQ

Questions from Colchester businesses

Do you cover Colchester and the rest of Essex?

Yes. We work across north and mid Essex, including Colchester, Tiptree, Maldon, Witham, Braintree and Chelmsford.

Can you review a fire risk assessment another company wrote?

Yes. We can review an existing assessment, tell you plainly whether it is still suitable, and update it rather than starting from scratch where that makes sense.
