About John Green Health and Safety
Practical expertise. Personal service. Long-term relationships.
John Green Training & Consultancy Ltd is a family-run consultancy providing practical health & safety, fire safety, food safety and training services to businesses across the UK.
The business was established by John Green almost 25 years ago, initially operating as a consultancy before becoming a limited company in July 2014.
Since then, we have continued to grow, building a team of experienced professionals and supporting businesses across a wide range of sectors.
We work with organisations of all sizes, from small businesses looking for straightforward advice and support through to larger organisations requiring ongoing consultancy, auditing, compliance management and specialist expertise.
Our approach, however, has remained the same:
Understand your business. Identify what matters. Provide practical solutions. Build a long-term relationship.
More Than Just Compliance
Health & Safety and compliance can be complicated, time-consuming and sometimes difficult to manage alongside the day-to-day running of a business.
That's where we come in.
We don't believe effective consultancy is simply about producing paperwork, providing generic templates or identifying problems.
We focus on how health & safety actually works within your business.
Our consultants work alongside directors, managers and employees to understand how your organisation operates and develop solutions that are practical, proportionate and achievable.
Whether you need an individual risk assessment, an independent audit, support with an inspection, a complete health & safety management system or ongoing retained consultancy, we tailor our approach to your business.
A Family-Run Business
Although the business has grown significantly since it first began, we have retained the personal approach that has always been important to us.
We believe that strong consultancy relationships are built on trust, communication and understanding.
Many of our clients have worked with us for many years, and a significant part of our growth has come through recommendations and long-standing client relationships.
We don't want to be a company that simply visits, produces a report and leaves.
We want to understand your business, know your people and become a trusted source of professional advice that you can rely on.
A Long-Term Partnership
Our preferred approach is to develop a long-term collaborative relationship with our clients.
We see the external consultant as an extension of your management team, working alongside management and supervisors to develop practical solutions and improve health, safety and compliance performance.
Our objective is not simply to produce paperwork or identify problems.
It is to help develop a positive and sustainable health & safety culture within your organisation.
That may mean providing ongoing retained support, carrying out regular site inspections and audits, assisting with regulatory issues, reviewing systems and procedures, providing training or simply being available when you need professional advice.
Experience Across Multiple Sectors
Over almost 25 years, we have worked with organisations across a diverse range of industries.
Our experience includes:
Construction
Manufacturing
Engineering
Haulage and transport
Hospitality
Catering
Food manufacturing
Retail
Education
Sports and leisure
Healthcare
Property and facilities management
Commercial organisations
Contractors and subcontractors
This breadth of experience allows us to understand that there is no single approach to compliance.
The risks faced by a food manufacturer will be very different from those faced by a construction company, school, care provider or hospitality business.
Our advice is therefore tailored to the organisation, its people, its activities and its risks.
A Team of Qualified Professionals
As the business has grown, so has our team.
We now have a team of experienced consultants who provide expertise across health & safety, fire safety, food safety, auditing, training and specialist compliance services.
Our consultants hold relevant professional qualifications and maintain their competence through continuing professional development.
Our professional memberships and industry affiliations include organisations such as:
IOSH – Institution of Occupational Safety and Health
RoSPA – Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents
IIRSM – International Institute of Risk & Safety Management
IFSM – Institute of Fire Safety Managers
CIEH – Chartered Institute of Environmental Health
We also maintain relevant industry accreditations and memberships, including RISQS and other recognised schemes where appropriate.
Our multidisciplinary approach means that clients can access a wider range of expertise while still receiving a personal service.
Supporting You When Things Go Wrong
Our role isn't simply to help businesses prepare for problems.
We also support clients when something has already happened.
We have experience assisting businesses following:
HSE visits and interventions
Improvement Notices
Accidents and incidents
Internal audit findings
Fire safety issues
Food safety inspections
Certification audits
Identified compliance failures
Where issues arise, we work with the client to understand what has happened, identify the underlying causes and develop practical corrective actions.
Where appropriate, we can also liaise with relevant authorities and other stakeholders to help businesses work towards an effective resolution.
Our objective is always to provide honest, professional and practical advice, helping clients understand their responsibilities and take appropriate action.
We Don't Just Tell You What's Wrong
We believe this is one of the most important differences in our approach.
It is relatively easy to produce a report listing everything that is wrong.
The real value comes from helping a business understand:
What is the risk?
What needs to be done?
What should we deal with first?
How can we implement the solution?
How do we make sure the problem doesn't happen again?
Our consultants work with clients to answer those questions and develop solutions that work within the practical realities of their business.
Continual Improvement
Compliance should not be viewed as a one-off exercise.
Legislation changes. Businesses change. Processes change. People change.
We therefore encourage our clients to take a continual improvement approach to health, safety and compliance.
Through regular audits, inspections, reviews, training and ongoing consultancy, we help businesses identify opportunities for improvement and maintain appropriate standards over time.
