Manufacturing and Industrial Sector

Adding Value Whilst Mitigating Risk

In 2023, UK manufacturing industries are expected to shrink by -3.2%. Industry experts caution against policymakers accepting this as the new normal. While the government is slow to develop a comprehensive industrial strategy, manufacturers must continue to enhance their assets, reduce risks, and comply with regulations.

We have extensive experience working in this sector, where we often encounter significant risks not present in other industries, such as moving machinery, labs, chemicals, pipelines, and 24/7 operation. Health and safety is a top priority for our clients, particularly on COMAH sites. Demonstrating technical proficiency, thorough safety training, and detailed risk assessments and method statements are crucial to delivering exceptional service.

Our team is focused on mitigating radioactive risk, managing the process of identification, maintenance and remediation of radiological substances hazardous to health.
