How we work and who works for us

Although our work is of a serious nature you will find us a friendly and flexible organisation, we’re also competitive on price. We work with and nurture businesses and institutions, large and small, building up lasting friendships both across the UK and internationally. These relationships have developed into long term placements with clients for key staff.

ALS has 40 staff including project managers, surveyors, analysts, lab technicians, health and safety consultants and occupational hygienists. Our health and safety consultants are corporate members of IOSH.

Our experience, continuing professional development and wide range of consultancy contribute to our first-rate reputation for providing a cost-effective and practical approach to health and safety.

Why appoint ALS?

Safety legislation requires that every employer must appoint a ‘competent person’ to assist with the health and safety management at work. By appointing a Safety Consultancy as your ‘competent person’ you will be able to get on with your own job and forget about trying to interpret the latest rules and regulations. Our consultants are experts in their own field of operation and are covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance for your protection. We offer a rapid response and nationwide coverage.

As well as working on a one-off project basis, we also offer an Appointed Safety Advisor Service which gives you discounted rates and ongoing safety consultancy all the year round.

Health & safety services:

We can implement a management system for you based on the HSE guidance HSG65 “Successful Health and Safety Management”.

We provide all the necessary services to assist you in managing each element of the system, from policy development and risk assessment, to writing procedures and auditing. By working closely with ALS you can rest assured that your organisation is not going to fall foul as far as Health and Safety is concerned.

Contractors

Many contractors now find themselves in the position of having to produce pre-tender health and safety documentation for prospective clients. These documents may include safety policy, risk assessments and staff training records. ALS is experienced in working alongside contract firms in meeting the client’s needs regarding necessary documentation and training.

ALS was one of the first in the country to be accredited by UKAS for asbestos testing in 1988 and as an inspection body in 2001. We have and maintain all current accreditations available. We have just achieved accreditation for undertaking Four Stage Clearances. We also hold a supervisory asbestos license.

ALS is an approved training course provider for BOHS, IOSH and CIEH.
