Our Services
Heritage Health and Safety tailors advice specifically to meet your needs. There are no ‘off-the-peg’ solutions in our world. Every site is different and deserves in-depth, expert evaluation.
Health and safety are not bolt on measures to be considered at the end of a project. Doing so leads to restrictive, time-consuming and unwieldy operations.
We cover
- Managing health and safety before, during and after construction
- Workplace fire and operational risk assessments
- Working with clients to make sure their sites operate safely and efficiently
- Training in safe practices, task assessments and first aid
- Improving the energy efficiency of traditional buildings
