 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently used HSQE Consultancy Ltd to carry out our DSEAR risk assessments and were extremely impressed with the service provided. From start to finish the team were professional, knowledgeable and thorough. They took the time to understand our processes in detail, explained the requirements clearly, and provided practical recommendations that were tailored to our site. The assessments were delivered promptly, the reports were clear and easy to follow, and any questions we had were answered quickly and confidently. Their expertise has given us full confidence that we are compliant and managing our risks appropriately. I would highly recommend HSQE Consultancy Ltd to any business looking for reliable and professional support with DSEAR or wider health and safety compliance.
