Running a business is demanding enough without health and safety compliance piling on the pressure. If you’re searching for health and safety consultants in Wigan who actually understand your industry, Beaconrisk is here to help. With more than 25 years of experience, CMIOSH-qualified (Chartered Member of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health) and OSHCR-registered (Occupational Safety and Health Consultants Register) consultants, we support businesses across Wigan with practical, jargon-free advice — from risk assessments and policy writing to staff training and accreditation support.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, every employer must have access to competent health and safety advice. For many Wigan businesses, bringing this expertise in-house isn’t practical — that’s where we come in, acting as the outsourced health and safety consultancy that Wigan businesses can rely on day-to-day.
Our Wigan health and safety consultants can support you with:
Many businesses in Wigan need recognised accreditations to win contracts or tender for larger projects, particularly in construction, facilities management and logistics.
As part of our ongoing accreditation support, we help Wigan businesses achieve and maintain certifications including CHAS, SMAS, Constructionline, Acclaim, CAS, and ISO certifications — all built naturally into your ongoing health and safety support, rather than treated as a separate add-on.
Regardless of size or sector, every employer in Wigan carries significant legal responsibility for the health and safety of staff, customers, and the public. Falling short can lead to:
Rather than viewing health and safety as a cost, most of our clients see it as an investment that reduces accidents, minimises downtime, and improves employee wellbeing across the business.

As an employer, you must have access to competent health and safety advice. This can come from an internal employee, but many businesses choose an external consultant for the expertise and flexibility they provide.
Cost varies depending on your business size, industry, and support requirements. At Beaconrisk, we offer flexible packages tailored to your business needs, rather than a one-size-fits-all price.
Look for consultants who are CMIOSH-qualified and registered with the OSHCR. These credentials demonstrate recognised competence and professional standards.
A risk assessment focuses on identifying hazards and implementing controls for specific activities or workplaces. A health and safety audit provides a broader review of your overall management system and compliance arrangements.
