Health & Safety Support

Flexible, Scalable H&S Services for Your Business

Take a practical and proactive approach to H&S 

Health & Safety goes by many names, from sector to sector — it’s a world of initialisms like HSEQ, QHSE, QHSEE and so on. What doesn’t change, however, is the value it can bring to your business, both in terms of mitigating risk and the ways it can help you achieve your goals. 

We understand that you will have competing priorities for your attention, time and resources — and H&S is not the ‘be all and end all’ — however it is a vital business support function that is there to help, and Quensh are here to help you get the most from it. 

In our client-tailored Health, Safety, Environmental & Quality Support services, Quensh offers more than just compliance to the necessary standards. Our approach helps you to be truly practical and proactive when managing risk and associated procedures. We can offer everything from fully outsourced Health & Safety consultancy on an ongoing basis to focused project support.

How do we build a positive Health & Safety Culture?

Effective workplace Health & Safety should go beyond having the right documentation, clear processes and good planning. Establishing a supportive and accountable H&S culture is key.

Workplace culture is a delicate thing that affects everything in and around your organisation, but it’s also a powerful tool for success. When a workforce directly contributes to the creation of its Health & Safety culture and has a say in how it is shaped, it has a lasting impact.

Quensh delivers Health, Safety, Environmental & Quality Support that’s built around your business’ specific requirements, working closely with your team to build a positive and productive culture.

"We had really positive feedback from DNV after our Stage 1 ISO 9001 audit. The Auditor commented that we had a ‘mature’ management system in place and that we were ‘ready for certification’. For Nøste to be in this position is testament to the hard work and effort of Ashley – she has provided exemplary support and we are delighted to have her at our backs. The Stage 2 audit is now scheduled and with Ashley’s continued support, we are confident we will have a successful outcome."

The ability to work in partnership with an HSEQ specialist in Scotland has given us an additional support when needed as we build a culture where no task is so important that the time cannot be taken to do it safely. We look forward to continuing to work together as part of a flourishing Scotland.”

"We want to give some much-deserved praise to Sara. Our audit went smoothly and she has been great throughout the preparation process. Very rarely you get someone who has a “I’ll get it done” attitude in the role that she’s in, which is exactly what’s required for our business. Sara fits in well with the team and has a positive outlook on everything that’s required."
