What We Do
Action Safety provides a full range of health and safety consultancy services for contractors, SMEs, and businesses across Edinburgh, East Lothian, and Midlothian. Every service is delivered personally by Iain Williams CMIOSH — 30 years of construction health and safety experience, applied directly to your business.
Whether you need ongoing Competent Person support, RAMS prepared before you can start on site, help achieving SSIP accreditation, or a compliant health and safety policy — Action Safety covers it all. No call centres, no junior consultants. You deal directly with Iain.
Our Services
Under Regulation 7 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, every employer must appoint a Competent Person to assist with health and safety. Action Safety provides this service on a retained basis — giving you access to CMIOSH-qualified expertise without the cost of a full-time employee.
Can't start on site until your RAMS are approved? Action Safety prepares professional, site-specific Risk Assessments and Method Statements that meet principal contractor requirements. We also produce COSHH assessments, CDM 2015 documentation, and task-specific RAMS for complex operations.
SSIP accreditation — through schemes like Constructionline, CHAS, SafeContractor, and Acclaim — is increasingly required to win contracts. Action Safety guides you through the application process, reviews your documentation, and helps you achieve and maintain accreditation.
Every business with five or more employees is legally required to have a written health and safety policy. Action Safety produces bespoke, legally compliant policies tailored to your business — not generic templates. We also review and update existing policies to ensure they remain current.
Action Safety provides access to a wide range of CPD-accredited online health and safety training courses — covering manual handling, fire safety, working at height, COSHH, risk assessment, and more. Courses are available 24/7 and produce a downloadable certificate on completion.
Regular site audits and workplace inspections are one of the most effective ways to identify hazards before they cause harm. Action Safety carries out structured audits against legal requirements and industry best practice, producing a written report with prioritised recommendations.
Construction Priority
It's one of the most common blockers for contractors — the principal contractor won't let you on site until your Risk Assessments and Method Statements are reviewed and approved. Action Safety prepares professional, site-specific RAMS that meet principal contractor requirements and CDM 2015 obligations.
Get in touch and Iain will talk you through your options — no obligation, no jargon, just straightforward advice.
