Supporting construction businesses with practical compliance advice

Construction businesses face constant pressure to keep projects on track, manage safety responsibilities and maintain high standards across busy working sites.

Whether you oversee one site or multiple projects, balancing legal duties, workforce challenges and daily operational demands can be difficult. You need more than paperwork. You need clear advice, practical support and a partner who understands how construction works in the real world.

THSP works as an extension of your team, providing straightforward support across health and safety, HR, employment law and training. We help construction businesses protect their people, strengthen compliance and keep projects moving with confidence.

Helping construction businesses stay safe, compliant and ready for growth

In construction, compliance is not just a box to tick. It affects your people, your sites, your reputation and your ability to win and deliver work.

Securing more commercial work often means proving your standards, showing the right paperwork, keeping up with legal duties and standing out through accreditations. THSP helps you bring those pieces together in a way that is practical, manageable and built around your business.

We support construction businesses with:

• Health and safety advice
• Site visits and inspections
• Risk assessments and RAMS
• Policies and procedures
• Training and competence
• Accident investigation and advice
• HR and employment law support
• SSIP and accreditation support
• Access to construction-focused consultants

Our partnership goes beyond documentation. We work with you to create safer sites, clearer processes and stronger working practices.

Health and safety support

Health and safety is central to every successful construction project. The right support helps you manage risk, protect workers and maintain safe working environments without slowing down progress.

THSP provides tailored health and safety support designed around the realities of construction work. We help you meet your legal responsibilities, strengthen site standards and take practical steps to reduce risk.

This can include:

• Health and safety policies and procedures
• Site safety inspections
• Risk assessments
• Method statements and RAMS
• Construction phase plan support
• Contractor and subcontractor management
• Accident and incident advice
• Practical improvement actions

Our advice is designed to be clear, realistic and useful on site. We help turn rules and requirements into actions your team can understand and follow.

Site visits and inspections

Regular construction site visits help you maintain visibility across your projects and spot issues before they become bigger problems.

THSP consultants can visit your site to identify hazards, review standards and provide practical recommendations to improve safety and compliance.

These visits are not about catching people out. They are about working with you to understand what is working, what needs attention and what action should be taken next.

Our collaborative approach focuses on establishing positive working environments where safety and productivity can work together.

Risk assessments and RAMS for construction projects

Risk assessments and method statements are essential for planning safe work on construction sites.

THSP can support you with creating and reviewing RAMS that are suitable for your projects, activities and workforce. We focus on documentation that reflects how work is actually carried out, so it can be used confidently by the people doing the job.

We can help make sure your RAMS are:

• Clear and practical
• Relevant to the task
• Suitable for your site conditions
• Easy for workers and supervisors to follow
• Aligned with your legal duties and project requirements

This is about practical safety for real-world workplaces, not paperwork for the sake of it.

Policies and procedures for construction businesses

Good policies and procedures help set standards across your business and give managers, supervisors and workers a clear framework to follow.

THSP can help you create, review and maintain health and safety documentation that reflects your business, your projects and your industry requirements.

This helps you stay consistent, demonstrate compliance and give your teams clear expectations.

When your documentation is clear and up to date, it becomes easier to make decisions, brief teams, satisfy customers and show that your business is taking its responsibilities seriously.

Training and competence

Competence is critical in construction. Your teams need to understand the risks they face, the controls in place and the standards expected of them.

THSP provides practical and accredited training to help your workforce stay competent, confident and compliant on site.

Training can support areas such as:

• Site safety awareness
• Risk assessment
• Manual handling
• Working at height
• Fire safety
• Toolbox talks
• Supervisor and management responsibilities
• CITB and NEBOSH training

Training is delivered in a practical, straightforward way, focused on real site conditions and day-to-day challenges.

The aim is simple: helping your people understand what good looks like and giving them the confidence to work safely.

Construction accident investigation and advice

When an accident or incident happens, it is important to understand what happened, why it happened and how to prevent it from happening again.

THSP can provide expert support following incidents, including investigation support, reporting guidance and practical preventative actions.

We can help you:

• Gather information
• Speak to witnesses
• Review site conditions and equipment
• Identify root causes
• Understand reporting requirements
• Put corrective actions in place

The aim is to help you respond properly, protect your people and reduce the risk of recurrence.

HR and employment law support

Construction businesses often deal with complex people matters, from site conduct and absence to recruitment, contracts and performance concerns.

THSP provides HR and employment law support to help you manage these issues clearly, fairly and commercially.

We can support with:

• Employment contracts
• Disciplinary and grievance matters
• Absence management
• Performance concerns
• Recruitment and onboarding
• Employee relations
• Policy updates
• Employment law advice

Our advice is practical and focused on helping you make confident decisions. Whether you need support with a difficult conversation or guidance on getting your documentation right, we help keep compliance human and manageable.

SSIP and accreditation support

Accreditations can be vital for winning work and demonstrating your standards to customers and contractors.

THSP can support you with CHAS, SafeContractor, Constructionline and other accreditation requirements, helping you remain approved and strengthen your position when tendering for new work.

We help you understand what is required, prepare the right evidence and maintain the systems needed for ongoing compliance.

For many construction businesses, this is not just about passing an assessment. It is about showing that your business is credible, capable and ready for the opportunities ahead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do construction businesses need both health and safety and HR support?

Construction businesses face risk on two fronts: physical safety on site and the people management challenges that come with a often large, varied workforce including subcontractors. Site safety failures and employment law mistakes both carry significant legal and financial risk. Having both areas covered by a single partner means advice is joined up, whether the issue is a site incident, a disciplinary matter or a contractor dispute, rather than managed by separate, disconnected providers.

What accreditations are commonly needed in the construction industry?

Common accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and Constructionline, all of which are Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) members. These accreditations are frequently required by clients and main contractors before a business can be considered for tender, as they demonstrate that a company meets recognised health and safety standards. THSP can support you in preparing the evidence needed and maintaining the systems required to stay accredited.

How does THSP support construction businesses with subcontractor management?

Subcontractor management covers verifying competence, reviewing RAMS, checking insurance and accreditation status, and ensuring subcontractors are properly inducted and supervised on site. Given that subcontractors often make up a significant portion of the workforce on a construction project, getting this right is essential for both safety and legal compliance. THSP can help you put the right processes and documentation in place to manage subcontractors effectively.

Can THSP support a construction business with a single site as well as a multi-site contractor?

Yes. THSP works with construction businesses of all sizes, from those managing a single project through to contractors overseeing multiple sites simultaneously. Support is tailored to the scale and complexity of your operations.
