Building a robust health and safety culture takes more than a folder of policies on a shelf. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 place clear duties on every employer — and the consequences of failing to meet them can include HSE enforcement action, prosecution, civil litigation, increased insurance premiums, and lasting reputational damage.
Bristol’s diverse economy spans construction, advanced manufacturing, hospitality, creative industries, events, education, and professional services. Each sector brings its own risk profile, and each Bristol employer faces the same legal exposure as businesses anywhere in Great Britain. The HSE estimates the annual cost of workplace injuries and new cases of work-related ill health at £22.9 billion — with the South West recording above-average rates of both non-fatal injury and ill health.
We work with Bristol businesses on both a project basis and as a retained monthly adviser — giving you access to CMIOSH-level expertise whenever you need it, without the commitment of a full-time hire.
JCT Health & Safety Consulting Ltd is led by Caspar Thomas, a Chartered Member of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (CMIOSH) — the gold-standard professional designation in UK health and safety, recognised by the HSE and employers across every sector.
We are registered on the government-endorsed Occupational Safety Consultants Register (OSHCR), giving Bristol businesses independent assurance that our advice meets national professional standards.
Our consultancy goes well beyond producing documents. We help your team understand their responsibilities, develop a positive safety culture, and build systems that work day-to-day — not just at inspection time.
Every business we work with receives clear, proportionate advice — not jargon-heavy reports that gather dust on a shelf. We focus on what is actionable, realistic, and relevant to your specific premises and workforce.
We are based in Bristol and support businesses across the city and wider South West — including Bath, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire, and beyond. Local knowledge, local commitment.
Whether you need a one-off assessment or an ongoing retained service, we work around your budget and operational requirements — no unnecessary extras, just the support your business actually needs.
Yes. We offer both project-based engagements and retained monthly advisory arrangements. If you need a specific policy developed, a one-off audit carried out, or a training session delivered, we can scope that as a standalone project. If you need ongoing day-to-day support, our retained Competent Person Service provides access to expert advice throughout the year. Contact us to discuss which arrangement best suits your Bristol business.
