Testimonials

I'm thrilled to share this testimonial about the outstanding work carried out by accuSafe's health and safety consultant at Ellesmere Port Hospital Trust. From the get-go, their expertise has been transformative. They started with a gap analysis of our H&S management system, quickly identified key areas for improvement, and developed a solid action plan working with us to swiftly address our priority actions. Their seamless integration into our management team, revitalised committee meetings, and effective communication of safety updates to our executives have made a significant impact on the engagement of our staff. Their professionalism and healthcare knowledge has raised the bar for our safety standards. An asset for the safety of our staff and patients!

Eoin McDonagh Head of Health & Safety, Ellesmere Port Hospital

Nic was Interim Health and Safety Manager at the Countess of Chester NHS Foundation Trust for 18 months between February 2023 and July 2024. During this time, she transformed the health and safety governance infrastructure and developed a clear and transparent action plan for the organisation’s health and safety priorities. I was impressed by how she tackled dealing with these priorities in a calm, warm and engaging manner. Nic is a capable and competent manager and successfully delivered significant improvements to our health and safety function during her tenure

Shaun Brown Deputy Chief Operating Officer, Countess of Chester Hospital

I had the pleasure of working with accuSafe on a large COVID-19 project for a Russell Group university. Importantly, Nick was good fun to work with, she had extensive health, safety and risk knowledge but used this knowledge wisely. Her processing was always on a practical level while focusing on the customer (and their staff and students) needs. The project scope elements were fully achieved within the timeframe ensuring the customer was happy. A great person to work with or have working for you.

Alistair Hopkins Health & Safety Consultant, University of Leeds

During a site maintenance shutdown period in 2021, accuSafe helped to provide compliance and health and safety support on a lower-tier chemical manufacturing site, during a very busy program of works onsite. Nick’s support and knowledge within the industry was much appreciated during this time and helped to support and ensure compliance across the site.

Andrew Scully​ SHE Manager, AGC Chemicals Europe Ltd

Nicky worked on a 3-month project reviewing and improving Navy Command Safety Documentation. As a HS&EP professional she was able to ensure that the documentation was aligned to ISO 45001 and made it easy to read for all. As someone outside the organisation it was fantastic to have a fresh set of eyes on the work we do. Throughout the project she was forward leaning when required to ensure understanding and was then able to work independently on the assigned tasks through to completion.

Victoria Rose​ Lt Cdr Tori Rose RN , Royal Navy

accuSafe have been a brilliant service for our business. Nicky is very knowledgeable and was incredible helpful with any questions or queries we had. I would definitely recommend the company.

Charlotta Hargreaves​ Development Manager, Allan J Hargreaves Plant

I have been using accuSafe for 2 years now for their risk assessment and method statement service and can’t recommend them enough. Fast and efficient service and very understanding of our needs. The accusafe team will go out of their way to accommodate you.

Glyn Watkins​ Director, Blackpool Demolition​

I had the pleasure of working with Nicky during the site shutdown at our chemical plant in 2021. We worked together to undertake contractor supervision and permit to work audits. Nicky is an accomplished professional and conscientious health and safety practitioner with a wealth of knowledge of both manufacturing and chemical-based environments. To complete her contract with us, Nicky wrote a gap analysis and action plan which has greatly assisted us in our journey with continuous improvement.

Mark Billows Health & Safety Manager, AGC Chemicals Europe Ltd

Five star, Nicky is really good and efficient and a nice person.

Lisa Frayling Executive Office Manager, Bronz-Glow UK Ltd

Nicky at accuSafe supported our organisation to review and realign key health and safety policy and procedure including Fire Safety and Emergency Response. Nicky’s calm and capable approach ensured all outcomes were fully achieved within agreed timeframes. The work Nicky has undertaken for us is greatly appreciated.

Rebecca Charlton Director of Safety, HC-One

I had the pleasure of working with Nicky briefly at a local authority in Greater Manchester. During that time I found Nicky to be knowledgeable, professional, empathetic and I would recommend her services.

Not Sure Where You Stand? Let's Talk.

Most of the leaders we speak to aren’t doing anything wrong—they just don’t always have full visibility of what’s really happening across the organisation.

A short conversation can often provide the clarity and confidence to decide what comes next.
