Written from the side of the table that reviews them

Trade Safe Compliance is run by a health and safety professional with more than 20 years in the job, from site level through to head of health and safety roles. Right now that means leading health and safety at principal contractor level on a major commercial build: temporary works, permits, scaffolding and full site management.

That matters for one reason. The person writing your RAMS has spent years being the person who accepts or rejects them. We know what gets a document bounced and what makes a site manager sign it off.

Behind the lead consultant sits a network of specialist associates covering fire, environmental, quality and occupational health. Every document is checked and signed off by the lead consultant before it goes near your client.

  • Degree in Occupational Health, Safety and Environmental Management
  • IIRSM member. SMSTS. Temporary Works Coordinator
  • Confined space, COSHH, permit to work and isolation
  • ISO 45001, 9001 and 14001 systems built and certified
  • Professional indemnity insurance held
  • Milton Keynes based. On site across Beds, Bucks and Northants. UK wide remotely

Not sure what you are missing?

Most small contractors have gaps they do not know about, and find out at the worst moment: an HSE visit, a lost tender, or an accident. The Health Check finds them first.

The Compliance Health Check

94 checks against what the law requires and what main contractors and SSIP schemes actually score you on. You get a scored report, every gap rated red, amber or green, and a costed plan you can work through yourself or hand to us.

  • Health and safety, insurance, employment basics and accreditations
  • Every finding rated red, amber or green by priority
  • Each gap mapped to a clear, costed fix
£295
Fixed price

The full £295 comes off any follow-on work over £1,000. Act on it and the Health Check costs you nothing.

2

Written for your site, checked by a qualified person, amended free if a client pushes back.

Straight answers

How fast can you turn a RAMS around?

Standard turnaround is 48 hours. A 24 hour priority service is available from £495. Turnaround is measured in working days from the point we have the site details, scope of works and anything the principal contractor has issued. We tell you exactly what we need when we quote.

Can you get us through CHAS or SafeContractor?

Yes. We handle the application or renewal start to finish: evidence gathered, gaps closed, submission made. You get a fixed price up front based on the scheme and the state of your current paperwork.

Do I legally need a written health and safety policy?

If you employ five or more people, yes. Section 2(3) of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 requires a written policy. In practice main contractors and SSIP schemes such as CHAS ask for one regardless of your headcount.

What does a retained competent person actually do?

Regulation 7 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 requires every business to have access to competent health and safety advice. A retained package gives you a named person who knows your business: your policy kept current, your documents checked before they go anywhere, and advice on the phone when something happens on site.

Are your documents written by AI?

No. Every document is written and checked by a qualified person and tailored to your site. You deal with a named consultant from first contact, and every document is signed off by the person who stands behind it.

Do you lock clients into long contracts?

No. Retained packages run on a three month minimum term, then rolling monthly. We keep clients by being useful, not by locking them in.
