About us - Why choose Evolution?
Evolution Health & Safety Consultants Ltd is uniquely positioned employing experienced personnel who have dealt with both consultants and individual companies (within construction, electrical installation, civil engineering, manufacturing and distribution) on a daily basis. We therefore know the pitfalls in producing appropriate and cost-effective Health & Safety documentation. We understand that first and foremost consultancies must build a level of confidence and trust and that is why we believe – ‘there simply is no substitute to our one-to-one approach’.
Evolution Health & Safety Consultants Ltd appreciates there are a number of Health & Safety consultants in the marketplace that provide adequate services. However, from our experience in the industry there are some consultancies providing advisory services that are overpriced and ineffective, supplying documentation that is not relevant to the company’s size and scope of business. This is apparent by the number of companies failing their Health & Safety assessment upon first attempt (as many as 90%), after they have received advice from their consultant/Health & Safety contact.
As responsible employers, most companies are aware of their basic duties under the law and the dramatic affects inadequate Health & Safety will have on their business. However, there are a number of key factors which affect their ability to reach the desired standard: they are generally unsure how to comply; do not have a competent Health & Safety specialist; do not have time to produce fully functional systems; or they simply think engaging with a reputable consultant is too expensive.
We at Evolution Health & Safety Consultants Ltd are able to understand why companies fall short of Health & Safety standards and why they struggle to engage with compliance requirements, whether it is for a membership, Health & Safety certification/SSIP compliance or PQQ (pre-qualification questionnaire) for tender purposes. We will be able to put any concerns at ease and help you engage with a professional consultancy to see how improved systems and working practices will benefit your business. In gaining competent and, most importantly, an accessible source of advice, you will also benefit from an understanding and appreciation of Health & Safety and the safe working systems you operate.
The only way of effectively achieving this is by:
- Our one-to-one service/assistance approach
- Continuity in approach, managed by a designated consultant
- Using experienced consultants knowledgeable in Health & Safety and general day-to-day health and safety issues:
- Membership scheme requirements such as BESA; individual Health & Safety certifications such as CHAS, EXOR, Safe Contractor; and the SSIP assessment process
We are the nominated partner for BESA
under the BESA Consult
banner. Members will receive a vetted Health & Safety service tailored to their needs, driven by key values endorsed by both organisations’ quality, service and value for money. Members will have the assurance they will receive the high standard of expected of a BESA Consult Nominated Partner, combined with the support and assistance they need to comply with the Health & Safety legislation, criteria of membership and the online Health & Safety assessment process. Members will also receive preferential rates for all main packages and a guaranteed discount on their second year of service with us.
Our Aim is to use this experience and lift the burden to help those who struggle with the concept of Health & Safety within their organisations. Our philosophy is simple: we understand
The Issue
that companies encounter, we acknowledge their current position, and assist them to enhance their business to obtain the desired standard through one of Our Solutions.
The issue
Many companies today fall short of, or are struggling with, Health & Safety requirements due to one of, or in some cases - all of, the following reasons:
- Lack of knowledge in Health & Safety
- Lack of resource and time to deal with Health & Safety
- Lack of finance to employ competent advice, or in-house NEBOSH qualified personnel
Through our experience within the industry, we have found more and more companies are falling victim to consultants and advisory services who provide policies and procedures that are irrelevant, either too large or complex, do not pertain to the companies scope of activities, size, or nature of business.
Companies also fall short of Health & Safety regulations by failing to provide even basic Health & Safety training. We at Evolution Health & Safety Consultants Ltd can assist you in complying with Health & Safety law.
Our aim
Our aim is to make Health & Safety:
- Relevant and understandable for all employees
- Less time consuming
- Cost-effective and affordable
We aim to take a realistic approach to Health & Safety for our clients. The most common misconception with Health & Safety is that you need complex processes and reams of documentation to comply with legislation and meet certification/SSIP requirements. "It is QUALITY, not quantity, which creates a successful Health & Safety Management System. "Did you know that for many smaller companies, some of the best Policies need only be a few pages long?
Working with Evolution will not only ensure your company complies with Health & Safety law by having concise documentation in place that protects both you and your employees. It also aims to improve overall business performance by simplifying and tightening up your processes, evolving your workplace as a whole.
Our solution
As one of Evolution Health & Safety Consultants Ltd's valued clients, you will have a dedicated point of contact who is NEBOSH qualified and experienced in construction safety management. They will be your personal Health & Safety consultant able to advise you to ensure that your company meets its’ legal obligations. By choosing the desired service level, we will:
- Gain an understanding of your business
- Develop a plan that fits your business requirements
- Make you aware of your responsibilities in a straight-cut, no nonsense manner
- Assist you in implementing the right policies, procedures and documentation
- Help you to effectively communicate with your employees
- Monitor your progress to ensure that the documentation provided continues to meet your needs

”David and Alicia’s advice and support throughout our BESA submission was invaluable, their assistance made the whole process smooth and easy to understand. Always being available to talk to, they give the impression that nothing is too much trouble and quickly provide detailed, thorough explanations to all queries. We are looking forward to continuing to work with Evolution Health & Safety Consultants Ltd.”
