What Does Health & Safety Support Cost?

Transparent pricing, only pay for the services you need

One of the most common questions we get is simple:
“How much does H&S consultancy cost?”

The honest answer is—it depends.

But on this page, we’ll break down exactly what affects pricing, what you can expect to pay, and whether it’s the right fit for your business.

What affects pricing?

Some factors naturally increase the cost of safety support:

  • Size of your business (number of employees)

  • Risk level of your operations

  • Level of support you need (advice only vs hands-on implementation)

  • Number of locations or sites

  • Additional services required (e.g. training, audits, regular site visits)

  • Urgent compliance needs or enforcement notice responses

The more complex and higher-risk your business is, the more support and input is required, which increases the cost.

Why Are Some H&S Consultants So Expensive?

Many firms price based on day rates or bill hourly. That quickly adds up, even if your needs are minor. Others build packages with hidden costs or require long-term contracts before you’ve even seen value.

We’ve simplified our pricing to avoid that — no bloated retainers, no hidden extras.

Why Are Some Consultants So Cheap?

Some companies advertise ultra-low fees… but:

  • Don’t include site visits or competent person coverage

  • Use copy/paste templates for policies

  • Are unresponsive when you need urgent help

  • Lack real-world experience across sectors

Cheap safety advice can become very expensive if you’re facing an HSE inspection or litigation. Our pricing reflects the value of seasoned, qualified guidance — not guesswork.

How much does accuSafe typically cost?

The cost of working with accuSafe depends on the type of support you need.

Most organisations fall into one of two categories:

  1. Competent Person (Retained Support)

    Typically between £995 – £3,495+ per year

    Best for organisations that want ongoing support, advice, and compliance covered.

  2. Ongoing Consultancy Support

    Typically between £750 – £3,750+ per month

    Based on 1–5 days of hands-on support per month, depending on your needs.

The right option depends on how much hands-on support your organisation needs and the level of risk involved.

All prices specified are exclusive of VAT.

Below are our Competent Person support packages.

These three options are designed to cover the majority of organisations, giving you a clear view of what’s included at each level and how support increases as your business grows.

You’ll never pay for what you don’t need. Everything is clearly scoped and discussed in advance.

Is It Really Worth It?

Only you can decide. But here’s what we know:

One inspection gone wrong can cost £5,000+ in penalties.

One staff injury claim can exceed £15,000 — before you factor in time, stress, and disruption.

One missed regulation could stop your operations altogether.

Health & safety isn’t just compliance. It’s protection for your people, your business, and your reputation.

With us, you don’t have to second-guess anything.

You get clear systems, practical tools, and a seasoned advisor who understands the legal side and how your business actually runs.

Are There Any Hidden Costs?

No hidden fees. No surprises.

Any additional work is always discussed and agreed with you in advance.

That might include things like training, fire risk assessments, or policy development — but only if you actually need them.

You stay in control of what you spend, every step of the way.

Do You Offer Payment Plans?

Yes — all packages can be paid monthly or annually (with a discount).

So you can choose what works best for your cash flow, without committing to everything upfront.

As your business grows, you can upgrade at any time — no disruption, no starting again.

Do Prices Change Often?

No — we’ve kept our pricing consistent for over 2 years.

We only review prices if supplier or insurance costs change significantly.

If that ever happens, you’ll be notified in advance — no surprises, no sudden increases.

FAQs About Pricing

Can I upgrade later?
Yes, at any time. Many of our clients start with Anchor or Momentum and move up as their business grows.

Do I have to sign a long-term contract?
No. We offer annual rolling plans or annual pre-pay with a discount.

Can you support our sector?
Very likely. We specialise in healthcare, education, and manufacturing, but our 48+ years of combined experience spans dozens of industries.

Is this worth it for a small business?
If you’ve got 5+ staff or premises open to the public, this isn’t optional — it’s essential. We help small teams stay protected without the corporate price tag.

What’s the Lifetime Value of Safety Support?

Avoiding just one incident, enforcement notice, or fine can more than cover your investment.

But the value goes beyond that.

You reduce ongoing risk, avoid disruption, and create a safer, more confident working environment.

You’re not just paying for support, you’re investing in stability, protection, and long-term peace of mind.
