What Does a SHEQ Consultant Do?
A SHEQ consultant is a specialist who ensures that businesses adhere to the highest safety, environmental, and quality management standards. Their role includes:
- Conducting risk assessments to identify potential hazards and implement preventive measures.
- Ensuring compliance with UK health, safety, and environmental regulations.
- Performing audits and inspections to evaluate the effectiveness of existing SHEQ practices.
- Developing policies and procedures tailored to business-specific risks and requirements.
- Providing training and education to employees on best safety practices and compliance.
SHEQ Consultant vs SHEQ Advisor
A SHEQ consultant typically provides strategic guidance and hands-on support to businesses that may not have in-house expertise. They work with companies on a contractual basis to ensure compliance and improve SHEQ processes.
A SHEQ advisor, on the other hand, is often an internal role focused on daily monitoring and advising within the business. While both roles contribute to a safer workplace, consultants offer broader expertise and solutions tailored to specific business needs.
