Mr Marc Smith
Overview
With a strong Health & Safety and training background encompassing over 30 years in the Royal Marines and Industry, my documentation, training courses, consultancy services and recommendations are based on the broad experience and in-depth knowledge gained during that time. I pride myself on maintaining a high level of competence and due diligence which is translated into the services I am able to provide for you.
My disciplined approach in identifying and servicing your aim and associated needs can help your business develop and expand through the implementation of the most appropriate and cost effective Health & Safety solutions. I will help you direct your resources efficiently and effectively by implementing solutions specific to your requirement and my knowledge and experience of what it takes to create an effective Health & Safety culture will enable you to implement effective communication throughout your company; communication is the heart and soul of a positive and vibrant culture.
Just as importantly (particularly in the Health & Safety market), I will not waste your time and money by trying to sell you something you don't need and all services are delivered in line with the IOSH Code of Conduct. In addition to quality of service I aim to offer:
Health & Safety products designed to ensure legislative compliance and the creation of a safe working environment.
Competitive pricing.
Services and products specific to your needs; this includes training* which is not generalised but specific to your activities.
Flexibility of service, working hours and fees.
