Supporting facilities management businesses with practical compliance advice

Facilities management businesses are responsible for keeping buildings, workplaces and estates safe, compliant and well-managed.

That responsibility often spans multiple sites, varied working environments, contractors, employees, visitors and changing day-to-day risks.

THSP supports facilities management businesses with practical advice across health and safety, HR, employment law and training, helping you maintain standards, manage risk and operate with confidence.

Support for complex, multi-site facilities management environments

Facilities management teams often balance compliance, operational delivery and contractor oversight at the same time.

You may be responsible for offices, commercial buildings, public sector properties, residential settings, industrial premises or multi-site estates. Each location brings its own risks, responsibilities and people challenges.

THSP provides structured support to help you manage these responsibilities with confidence and consistency.

We help facilities management businesses create practical arrangements that work across sites, teams and contractors.

Health and safety support for facilities management

Health and safety is a key part of effective facilities management.

You need to maintain safe buildings, manage contractor activity, keep documentation current and respond quickly when risks change.

THSP provides clear, practical support to help you meet your duties under UK health and safety legislation and maintain safe, well-managed environments.

We can support with:

• Health and safety policies and procedures
• Site visits and inspections
• Risk assessments and RAMS
• Contractor management
• Fire safety support
• Accident and incident investigations
• Compliance reviews
• Practical improvement actions

Our advice helps you maintain safe environments for employees, contractors, customers and visitors.

Site visits and inspections

Regular site inspections help you maintain visibility across your locations.

THSP can visit your sites to identify hazards, highlight areas for improvement and provide clear, actionable recommendations to strengthen safety performance and compliance.

This helps you understand where standards are strong, where gaps may exist and what needs to happen next.

We provide a safety net in a complex world, helping you stay in control across multiple environments.

Risk assessments and RAMS for facilities management

Facilities management environments often involve multiple contractors, varied tasks and changing site activity.

THSP can support with developing and reviewing risk assessments and method statements that are relevant, practical and aligned with how your sites are actually operated.

This helps ensure safe systems of work are in place and understood by the people carrying out the work.

Our focus is on making compliance practical, visible and usable.

Policies and procedures

Clear documentation helps maintain consistency across sites and reduces gaps in compliance.

THSP can support you with up-to-date health and safety policies and procedures that reflect current legislation and the realities of facilities management operations.

This helps managers, employees and contractors understand expectations and follow consistent standards.

The right documentation gives you clarity, confidence and evidence that your arrangements are properly managed.

HR and employment law support

Health and safety in facilities management is closely linked to people management.

You may need to manage employee responsibilities, absence, conduct, performance, recruitment, contractor arrangements or workplace disputes.

THSP provides HR and employment law support to help ensure decisions remain consistent, fair and compliant.

We can support with:

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

Our advice helps you deal with people issues clearly while keeping operations moving.

Training and competence for facilities management teams

Maintaining competence across internal teams, managers and contractors is an important part of facilities management.

THSP provides practical training focused on real operational risks, helping people understand expectations and apply safe working practices.

Training can support areas such as:

• Health and safety awareness
• Fire safety
• Manual handling
• Risk assessment
• Contractor management
• Accident reporting
• Management responsibilities
• Wider compliance training

Our training is designed to be relevant, accessible and easy to apply.

Accreditation and compliance support

Many facilities management organisations need to maintain accreditations such as CHAS, SafeContractor and Constructionline.

THSP can support you in meeting these requirements and maintaining ongoing compliance with confidence.

We help make the process clearer, more manageable and better aligned with your existing systems.

For organisations managing multiple sites and contractors, this support can make it easier to demonstrate standards and reassure customers, employees and stakeholders.

Helping facilities management businesses maintain consistency across sites

One of the biggest challenges in facilities management is keeping standards consistent across different locations and service arrangements.

Without structured support, gaps can develop in documentation, contractor management, training and incident response.

THSP helps you strengthen systems, close gaps and keep compliance visible.

We can help you:

• Maintain consistent health and safety standards
• Manage contractors safely and effectively
• Keep documentation up to date
• Support managers with practical advice
• Improve reporting and follow-up actions
• Respond properly to incidents
• Build stronger compliance habits across teams

This is compliance done together: practical, steady and focused on protecting people.

Frequently Asked Questions

What health and safety duties does a facilities management business have across multiple sites?

Facilities management businesses have duties under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and related regulations to ensure the buildings and environments they manage are safe for employees, contractors, customers and visitors. Where multiple sites are involved, this duty extends across every location, which means arrangements need to be consistent rather than managed on an ad hoc, site-by-site basis. THSP helps facilities management businesses establish structured systems that work across varied premises while still reflecting the specific risks of each location.

What are the risks of poor contractor management in facilities management?

Facilities management often relies heavily on contractors for maintenance, repairs and specialist services, which introduces risk if those contractors are not properly vetted, inducted or supervised. Poor contractor management can lead to incidents on site, breaches of health and safety law and difficulty demonstrating compliance if something goes wrong. THSP helps you put structured contractor management processes in place, covering competence checks, documentation review and ongoing oversight.

Do facilities management businesses need health and safety accreditations like CHAS or SafeContractor?

Many facilities management organisations are asked to hold accreditations such as CHAS, SafeContractor or Constructionline, particularly when working with public sector clients or larger commercial organisations that require evidence of safety standards before awarding contracts. These accreditations demonstrate that your safety management systems meet recognised benchmarks. THSP can support you in preparing the evidence needed and maintaining these accreditations over time.

Why is documentation particularly important in facilities management compliance?

With multiple sites, contractors and varied activities to manage, documentation is often the only practical way to demonstrate that health and safety arrangements are being properly maintained. Outdated or inconsistent policies and risk assessments make it difficult to evidence compliance if something goes wrong or if a client requests assurance of your standards. THSP helps keep documentation current, relevant and aligned across your portfolio of sites.

Can THSP support both health and safety and HR for facilities management businesses?

Yes. Facilities management often involves managing direct employees, contractors and third-party arrangements simultaneously, which means health and safety and people management issues are closely linked. THSP provides support across both areas, helping you manage absence, conduct, recruitment and employee relations alongside your health and safety obligations, so advice is joined up rather than split across separate providers.
