What usually gets in the way
Project works, commissioning and plant operation run at the same time, with interface risks that neither party fully owns.
Confined space entry, hot works, lifting and energy isolation are concentrated into outage windows with little schedule float.
Multiple specialist contractors work on site simultaneously, each with their own RAMS, permits and competence records.
Owners, lenders, insurers and regulators expect independent evidence that controls are in place and working — not self-declaration.

From first call to ongoing support
We agree the phase you are in — construction, commissioning, operations or outage — and who your assurance reporting is for.
A documentation and site review of permits, isolation, contractor control and interface arrangements against the hazards on your plant.
A scheduled programme of inspections, deep-dive audits and on-site presence sized to your outage and project calendar.
Scored reports with photographic evidence, tracked actions and trend reporting to your board, owners or insurers.
Questions we are asked most
Cyber security is delivered by SafetyX
Cyber security services — Cyber Essentials, penetration testing and ISO 27001 support — are delivered by SafetyX, our dedicated cyber security business, by its own qualified testers and consultants. SafetyGenius consultants do not carry out the technical testing.
You can buy cyber security directly from SafetyX, or ask us to introduce you and coordinate alongside your health & safety work. Contracting, scoping and reporting for cyber work sit with SafetyX; your SafetyGenius agreement is unaffected.
