Manufacturing & Industrial

Focus on bulk chemical storage, process safety, and REACH downstream user obligations.

Challenge: Managing bulk solvents, acids, and process intermediates introduces complex risks of fire, cross- contamination, and environmental releases. Navigating REACH as a downstream user adds a layer of regulatory complexity. 

Our Solution: We go beyond basic COSHH. Our specialists design integrated systems for safe bulk storage and transfer, conduct process safety reviews, and ensure your compliance with REACH substance communication and usage requirements—keeping your production line safe and compliant.

Healthcare & Laboratories

Pharmacy stock management, cytotoxic drug handling, lab-specific COSHH compliance

Challenge: From potent cytotoxic drugs in pharmacies to diverse reagent libraries in labs, the stakes are incredibly high. The consequences of mismanagement directly impact patient safety, staff health, and critical research integrity. 

Our Solution: We provide sector-specific expertise for the safe procurement, storage, and disposal of medicinal products and hazardous lab chemicals. Our compliant COSHH assessments and handling procedures are tailored to sterile environments, cleanrooms, and research facilities.

Construction & Demolition

On-site temporary storage, CLP for products, handling of legacy hazardous materials.

Challenge: Dynamic sites face constant change—new materials arrive daily, and legacy asbestos or hidden contaminants can be uncovered. Temporary, often exposed storage areas are vulnerable to weather, theft, and accidental damage. 

Our Solution: We implement robust site-wide chemical management plans, including safe zones for fuels, adhesives, and gases. We provide clear guidance on Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all products and specialist support for unexpected discoveries of hazardous legacy materials.
