Independent consultancy, bespoke training and regulatory guidance for duty holders, procurement teams, quality managers and accredited organisations. Built on 25 years of frontline industry and HSE experience.
Our primary focus: direct, independent support for organisations who need more than a training course - reviewing evidence, assessing compliance, and advising with the same rigour we've assessed others against.
Direct experience assessing against ISO 17020, ISO 17025 and ISO 17043, plus hands-on quality management system experience - so our advice holds up to the same standards we've assessed others against.
Honest, practical advice to help you comply with regulatory standards - free from conflicts of interest, and always in your organisation's best interest rather than ours.

Director Martin Saunders has worked across every level of the asbestos industry since 1999. He began as an analyst and surveyor, progressed through project management and dutyholder roles, and spent 8 years as a UKAS Technical Assessor and BOHS Course Assessor - evaluating organisations and training providers to the highest professional standards.
Most recently, Martin served as a Senior Scientist at HSE Science Division for 3.5 years, co-authoring research reports RR1217 and RR1218, designing and presenting the HSE Asbestos in Buildings course, and leading national asbestos research projects.
We have wide-ranging experience with regulatory requirements, which means we can give practical, reliable advice across most industries. Our experience spans across private and commercial landlords to large industrial sites like refineries and power stations, understanding each has their own complexities.
Having previously acted as an asbestos duty holder - including managing high-risk materials such as spray coatings in challenging environments and under regulatory scrutiny - this gives us valuable real-world perspective. It helps us understand the pressures our clients face and offer guidance that is both realistic and compliant.
Practical, role-specific courses covering the full asbestos management lifecycle. All support CAR 2012 refresher requirements and professional CPD.
What to check, whether scope has been met, correlation methods, warning signs, and how to formally challenge your survey provider. Includes a survey review template.
Producing a register that meets HSE minimum requirements. Covers photographs, simplifying data for all users, linking to plans, and identifying information gaps.
The annual AMP review is a legal requirement under CAR 2012 Reg 4. Works through a real AMP scenario - checking minimum content, testing for reactive maintenance, and building continual improvement.
Identifying who needs what training and at what level. Works through a real workforce, maps roles to regulatory requirements, produces a site-specific TNA. Template included.
Asbestos removal as a management option - realistic range of end results, strategies to protect staff, and a decision options table for potential actions.
How to check third-party competency at onboarding, review certificates for reoccupation and statements of cleanliness, and establish checkpoints throughout works.
From a fibre exposure incident during removal to reduced confidence in information and analysis supplied - and what that means for the previous samples you considered asbestos-free. Works through two scenarios, who is effected and what actions to take.
Check whether there is an appropriate survey, a CAR 2012 compliant asbestos register and whether the asbestos management plan is suitable and sufficient. Supplies working templates to collect simple answers and provides the regulatory references to allow informed discussions with employers.
This course equips those involved in purchasing to carry out robust due-diligence checks on imported goods, protecting both customers and their organisation. It highlights the ongoing global use of asbestos, the limits of analytical standards, and the real risks of asbestos entering the supply chain. Participants learn how these issues can mitigate the risk of personal exposure, damage company reputation, and ongoing insurance risk for the business.
