Our services
Nine ways we help UK businesses and construction teams work safely. Pick the one that fits, or ask us and we will point you in the right direction.
Questions and answers
Find your question and open it. Each answer sets out what the law expects, what to do, and how NXT-HSE can help.
Using a consultant helps you meet your duties; the legal responsibility stays with your business.
What to do
Check which CHAS level your client is asking for, then gather the evidence the assessment looks for: your health and safety policy, risk assessments, method statements, training records and, for some levels, environmental and other policies. CHAS assessors review your application and make the decision.
How NXT-HSE helps
NXT-HSE checks what you already have against the level you need, fills the gaps with documents that reflect how you really work, and supports you through the application and any feedback from the assessor.
What to do
Usually because they are generic: the wrong site details, no clear sequence of work, or controls that do not match the hazards. Principal contractors want RAMS that describe this job, on this site, with these people, and that are briefed to the team before work starts.
How NXT-HSE helps
NXT-HSE writes or reviews your RAMS around how the work is really done, and updates them so they answer the principal contractor's comments properly.
What to do
Under CDM 2015, a construction phase plan must be drawn up before the construction phase begins, by the principal contractor or, on a single-contractor project, the contractor. You also need welfare facilities from the start, site inductions, and suitable arrangements for managing the work.
How NXT-HSE helps
NXT-HSE develops a proportionate construction phase plan built around the real risks of your project, and helps you keep it up to date as the work, the programme or the team changes.
What to do
Deal with the emergency and make the area safe first, and call 999 if needed. Check whether the incident must be reported to HSE under RIDDOR: that duty stays with the responsible person. Then investigate, to find the immediate and underlying causes and stop it happening again.
How NXT-HSE helps
NXT-HSE carries out structured investigations: gathering the evidence, speaking to the people involved, finding the root causes and setting out practical actions in a clear report.
What to do
Check your arrangements against what actually happens at work. Monitoring and reviewing health and safety is part of managing it, and an audit looks at both your paperwork and the work itself: policies, risk assessments, training, supervision and site conditions.
How NXT-HSE helps
NXT-HSE audits the paperwork and the work on the ground, then hands over a prioritised action plan, with owners, that your team can act on.
What to do
CDM 2015 gives specific duties to clients, designers, principal designers, contractors, principal contractors and workers. Everyone with a role needs to understand their own duties, the key documents, and how their work fits with everyone else's.
How NXT-HSE helps
NXT-HSE runs online CDM training that explains the roles, documents and handovers in plain language, using real project scenarios, so your team can apply it on their next job.
What to do
Start by assessing the causes of work-related stress, using HSE's Management Standards, and talk to your team. Make it normal to raise concerns, report near misses and ask for help, and make sure everyone knows where support is.
How NXT-HSE helps
NXT-HSE helps managers and teams build mental health awareness and psychological safety, with practical tools that fit site life.
What to do
Every employer must have competent help to meet their health and safety duties, under regulation 7 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. That help can come from inside your business or from outside it.
How NXT-HSE helps
NXT-HSE gives you an adviser who gets to know your business and answers everyday questions plainly, from policies and risk assessments to legal duties and environmental good practice.
What to do
Every employer must have competent help to meet their duties, but it does not have to be an employee: it can come from outside the business. Regular support can cover everyday advice, site inspections, document reviews and toolbox talks, so problems are found early rather than after an incident.
How NXT-HSE helps
NXT-HSE offers monthly packages from £250 a month, with set consultancy hours and site visits, or pay-as-you-go support with no monthly fee.
