Testimonials

Alex is an extremely experienced and well informed Safety practitioner who provides pragmatic, business focused solutions.

I first met and worked with Alex a number of years ago and from day one found him an astute individual who was well versed in his subject but could use his experience to temper the black and white of rules and regulation. H&S can be the bane of folk’s lives at times and so many so called H&S experts use H&S as an excuse to prevent something from taking place. However in the true ethos of H&S Alex was one who would look at a challenge, then assess how to set about a dangerous or potentially dangerous task in a manner which minimised the likelihood of things going wrong and/or minimised the effect if things did go wrong. A good dollop of common sense was added into all of his method statements and risk assessments.

His good interpersonal skills allowed him to calm troubled waters and usually get stumbling blocks moved in everyone’s interest. Alex would be an asset to any organisation / business needing an experienced and competent H&S Manager
