ABOUT SAFEWISE

Established in 2012 SafeWise provide cost-effective and bespoke Health, Safety and HR services to small and medium-sized companies throughout the West Midlands, London and the UK.

Following the global financial collapse in 2008, the founding partners Sean Tennant and Gary Milligan recognised that many small and medium enterprises could not afford to pay for full-time health & safety managers to help them comply with the numerous H&S legislations, whilst trying to balance the books and deliver a quality product for their clients. 

Since 2012, we have added human resources, fire risk assessments, online and classroom-based training courses, and a range of other services that assist clients with their HR and H&S Responsibilities.

Now 13 years on, we proudly represent some of the finest companies in the West Midlands, we now provide services to our members in fabrication & installation and various industrial, workshop, office and hospitality environments. We also provide advice, support, and guidance on HR processes, procedures, and well-being tailored to our members while working together to provide our five-star quality service.

With our recent expansion, we proudly announce that we are the 2023, Best Construction Sector SME Safety Consultancy Firm. 

Your employees' Health, Safety and well-being are important, and SafeWise has your back when it matters the most!

 

Safewise Health, Safety & HR Advisors

OUR PRODUCTS & SERVICES

SafeWise has “Continually Improved” our products and services over the past 13 years, with health & safety linking very closely to human resources in terms of document control and data protection, it was inevitable that our natural business progression was to offer the same flexible HR advisory service to clients as we did with our H&S services. Our Health & Safety and HR advisors are experienced qualified professionals offering complete H&S and HR support at a fraction of the cost a full-time H&S or HR Manager would.

Training also plays an essential role in all businesses, large or small, in complying with both HR and health & safety legislation. We provide free H&S legislation training for all our clients continuously throughout the year.

We also have a wide range of flexible classroom and online training courses which can be booked to suit your requirements.

Whether you retain SafeWise as your Safety Advisors, HR Advisors or both, you can be assured you will receive a personal service from our qualified professionals.

We have used Safewise Health and Safety on a few occasions to help us with Manual Handling Training for our staff. We had a trainer come to our offices in 2019 and then completed online training in 2021 due to Covid restrictions. We found both courses to be a very positive experience with good content which the staff enjoyed. Andrenna is very efficient and I found her extremely helpful. We will continue to use Safewise for any future training and have no hesitation in recommending them.

Anne Duffy,

Please thank all the staff at safewise for your hard work. Your service has been nothing short of exceptional and I really appreciate your support.

At Ricoh UK Products Ltd, the health, safety and wellbeing of our employees is our top priority. To help support this, we have recently began working with SafeWise Health, Safety and HR Advisors to deliver a number of our Health & Safety training courses. The training we have had delivered so far has been very well received and we are already starting to see that the training is being implemented in the workplace… thank you to SafeWise for a great experience so far, and we look forward to continuing our work with you in the future.

The Phoenix Pattern & Tool Co Ltd have recently taken on Safewise as our Health & Safety Advisors. We could not be happier with the service received so far. Sean, our consultant, has been extremely helpful and super efficient. Everyone we have been in contact with from our initial telephone enquiry to the setting up of our H&S management system has been helpful and efficient. One of our directors attended the Directors and senior manager training and found it very informative; the rest will attend soon. We feel safe in the knowledge that we will be compliant and that Safewise will be available as our responsible person going forward.

Dawn Farrugia,
The Phoenix Pattern & Tools Co Ltd

We first used Safewise for up-skilling some of our staff in relation to Risk Assessment. Everyone who attended found the course not only useful but also professionally run, with the teacher able to account for the candidates learning needs. From this our relationship has grown, with further training identified in the next year. Not only is the training professional, but so is everyone else who I have come across at Safewise

Gary Morrison,
Busch (UK) Ltd

Our requirements for Respirator face fit testing were carried out professionally, efficiently and at minimal cost. Also, as this can be carried out on-site, there is minimal disruption to our production. Excellent!

Graham Mansell,

We went with Safewise as are our H&S advisors this year and could not be more happier. Great company to work with, very knowledgable and always willing to help. They supported us through process of accreditation's, assisted us with risk assessments and method statements. 100% recommend.

Just wanna say i'm loving the online training! Site is really user friendly

Hayley Burford,

Having spent many hours toiling through the CHAS process for a number of years using external H&S consultants, internal H&S officers and many man hours on site for supervisors and managers, I finally decided to speak to SafeWise who I had been using for a couple of years for training purposes. They offered a very reasonable package which was implemented swiftly, processes were initialised, resources pooled together, advice and guidance given and within a short time frame we had successfully obtained our CHAS certification. Stress free and efficient. Outstanding communication throughout the whole process. Money very well spent. Would strongly recommend SafeWise for H&S consultancy and CHAS.

Jane Cairns,
D.CAIRNS BUILDING MAINTENANCE LTD

Dear Gary / Sean and all the team at Safewise, As we have just renewed our yearly agreement with yourselves it seemed like an ideal point to drop you a line to thank you for all your work with JA Burke Construction Ltd to date. In the two years since employing Safewise as our external advisors we have made great strides in improving not only overall company health and safety but progression for the individuals involved, from operatives on the ground, supervisors, office staff and managers. This improvement has been structured and planned working at a pace to suit the company and the individuals and Sean is always on hand to offer advice and support where when required. Many of the supervisors have seemed to have taken the aspects learned from managing good health and safety and used this to improving other fields in the work environment. Judging from the positive feedback from clients I am sure all of the above can only strengthen our position when competing for future tenders and we look to building our relationship over the next year.

Jim Burke,
JA Burke

The course was great, it was very informative and well managed

Safewise provided Health and Safety training to our senior management team as part of an implementation of revised site set up for H&S procedures. They did this is a knowledgeable but still personable way, and engaged well with all members of the team. They continue to provide day to day answers to any H&S queries we have in a timely and professional manner, and also conduct site surveys for us as and when required. The whole Safewise team are an excellent service provider for all things H&S

We've used Safewise for over 10 years now, not only use them as our health and safety advice, but also for our HR. The new system they have created is really superb and brilliant for our employees and what we need. It simplifies all our policies, employee contracts, holidays etc. into one place. Would definately recommend for H&S and HR for any company!

As an organisation with ever changing needs and demands, and H&S being first on our priority list I could not praise SafeWise more! They are extremely flexible and professional, they take the time to understand our business and deliver an exceptional service. Their trainers have excellent knowledge and tailor their training to suit our policies and procedures as well as advise on how we as a business can also make improvements. I have had nothing but positive feedback from our staff at all levels throughout the business for the training that has been delivered, from both a Training and Health and Safety point of view they are our most favoured training provider.
