CUTINHA Safety & Risk provides hands-on, practical HSE and ISO support that improves real working conditions — not just paperwork. We help organisations strengthen compliance, reduce risk, and build systems that teams can actually follow.
HSE fines have risen dramatically. In 2025, fines ranged from £800,000 to £6 million for serious breaches. The HSE conviction rate stands at 94%.
Directors face personal criminal liability under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. This is not a company fine — it is a sentence the director serves.
Main contractors now require SSIP accreditation, RAMS, and evidence of competent safety management before awarding work. No safety = no revenue.
Insurers increasingly demand evidence of active safety management. Without documented records, claims can be rejected and premiums increased.
Site-focused solutions that work in real operations and services — not textbook answers that collect dust.
Clear actions, ownership and close-out tracking. No “audit theatre” — we follow through until every action is done.
Documentation and audit support that satisfies HSE inspectors, insurers, and certification bodies first time.
Systems built to be maintained easily — without unnecessary overhead, expensive software, or consultant dependency.
Ongoing support to meet UK legal duties (HSAW, MHSWR, CDM and more), close gaps, and maintain control — so you pass inspections with confidence.
Task and process risk assessments, HIRA, JSA, RAMS — practical, clear, and fit for the work, satisfying HSE, insurers, and clients.
Compliant fire risk assessments under the Fire Safety Order, action plans, drill readiness, and ongoing review — a legal must for every UK premises.
H&S policy refresh, core procedures, safe systems of work, legal register maintenance — documents teams can actually use.
Pre-qualification, RAMS reviews, PTW/LOTO discipline, and site assurance — protecting you from contractor-related risk.
COSHH assessments, SDS compliance, storage and segregation, exposure monitoring, LEV checks — meeting your legal duties on hazardous substances.
DSEAR risk assessments, hazardous-area zoning (Zones 0/1/2), ignition-source control, Ex-equipment checks — proper management of explosive atmospheres.
Equipment risk assessments, PUWER schedules, LOLER lifting plans, guarding reviews — ensuring work equipment is safe, maintained, and compliant.
Emergency Response Plans, muster control, evacuation drills, spill response, FRS familiarisation — so your site responds fast when it matters.
Structured change control for new equipment, processes, or layouts — preventing the incidents that happen when changes go unmanaged.
Root-cause analysis (5-Whys, Ishikawa, FTA), CAPA, lessons learned, and prevention-focused actions — turning incidents into improvements.
Inductions, toolbox talks, COSHH/WAH/confined space sessions, training matrices — building real competence, not just ticking a box.
Behaviour-based safety, “Don’t Walk Past” programmes, safety champions, near-miss quality uplift — changing how people think about risk.
CDM duty-holder guidance, construction-phase plans, principal designer/contractor support — keeping construction projects safe and compliant.
Gap assessments, documentation build, internal audits, and certification readiness — all three standards, one consultant.
Build or refresh an IMS so governance, actions, audits and management reviews run smoothly across all standards.
Leading/lagging indicators, TRIR, near-miss trends, action ageing, audit close-out — visual dashboards built with Power BI and embedded directly into your SharePoint site.
A complete digital HSE system — documents, actions, audits, and dashboards — built entirely within Microsoft 365 tools you already have. No extra software. No extra licences.
We support organisations to implement, improve and maintain ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. Where required, we support Integrated Management Systems that align all three standards alongside legal and operational requirements.
Projects support (CDM / RAMS / contractor control) for small–mid works — with scalable support for larger programmes when required.
We do not believe in hidden fees. Every engagement starts with a free compliance check call so we understand your needs before quoting.
A specific piece of work with a clear scope and fixed price. Ideal for a defined issue.
Regular on-site visits plus remote support between visits. A named consultant who knows your site.
Short-term support for a specific project with defined deliverables and timeline.
