Mr Kevin Henderson
CMIOSH
Overview
With over 45 years in the construction industry, including 16+ years as a dedicated health and safety professional, I bring extensive practical experience and strategic insight to every project. My career spans a wide range of supervisory and managerial roles, giving me a deep understanding of site operations, project delivery, and workforce engagement in complex environments.
As a Chartered Member of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (CMIOSH), I uphold the highest standards of professional integrity and technical competence. My qualifications are backed by hands-on experience, positioning me as a trusted Health and Safety leader with a proven ability to embed safety into operational practice.
I take a pragmatic, solution-focused approach to risk management, ensuring health and safety is seamlessly integrated into daily activities without compromising productivity. I specialise in thorough site inspections and audits, with a strong emphasis on compliance with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM) and all relevant health, safety legislation. My work reflects attention to detail, regulatory rigour, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
Collaboration, clear communication, and fostering a positive safety culture are central to my approach. I believe effective health and safety management goes beyond compliance; it’s about shared responsibility, empowerment, and behavioral change.
While my core experience lies in construction, I’ve successfully applied my skills across other sectors including local government, social housing, and further education. These roles have strengthened my ability to interpret and apply legislation in a proportionate, context-sensitive manner, ensuring compliance and resilience across diverse operational settings.
I’m experienced in conducting audits to meet both legislative and company requirements, including those needed for ISO certification. I also design and deliver tailored health and safety training for all organisational levels—from site operatives to directors—ensuring teams are equipped with the knowledge and confidence to maintain high safety standards.
