What a great summer it’s been for us! It’s not just the weather that’s been hot – we’ve been turning up the heat on our success, as more clients join us to help them with their health and safety needs.

Fittingly, for barbeque season, one such customer left us a sizzling testimonial – German hotdog specialist the Sausageman, which offers its customers that festival experience, right at home!

We took the opportunity to “grill” Operations Director, James Doyle about the company’s visions for the future, more about the brand – and how the requirement for health and safety support spanned across multiple sites.

Health and Safety Mentor has been in business for a long time – and we’ve perfected the art of being omni-present. Lots of our customers tell us they outsource their health and safety to us because they don’t have the time or resource to do it themselves. That’s why we pride ourselves on operating in the background – we act as an extension to your team and we’re here if you need us, but we’ll never overpower you or encroach upon your day to day – unless you want us to of course!

James tells us this is exactly what he was looking for – and that’s how HS&M fit the brief entirely. He said: “HSM is very low maintenance, on hand if we need them, and ensuring they inform us of any relevant updates or upcoming issues we need to be aware of.

“For example recently we’ve ‘naturalised’ risk assessments into everything we do, making them second nature, this change in attitude as we’ve grown has been supported fully by HSM – who are at the end of a phone call or email.”

The fact that The Sausage Man was multi-site meant it was really important for their health and safety strategy to work flexibly – and that was something our next client was looking for. 

NODA offers education and information needs of individuals and organisations that contribute to the success of amateur theatre. However, as an advisory body only, they needed someone to hold the responsibility of health and safety – and with around 1900 members with 20-100 participants per society – it was vital each performance was run to optimum safety.

COO Dale Freeman said of HSM: “HSM brought together “NODA Safe” a practical, health & safety toolkit that societies can follow. This resource and set of fact-sheets, is on our members-only website and is downloaded a lot! Our members often comment that this resource is easy to follow and in thankfully written in plain English.

“We also provide, via HSM, a direct line which is a way for our members to get their specific health & safety questions answered, fast. Often it’s just a single issue that a member will want clarification on.
