HR and health and safety support for UK businesses
Get clear, practical support built around your people, workplaces and risks, even when your business does not fit a standard sector category.
THSP supports employers across the UK, including offices, property businesses, charities, logistics, wholesale, leisure, mobile workforces and specialist organisations. We take the time to understand how your business works and recommend a proportionate level of HR, employment law, health and safety or training support.

You do not need to know which service you need
Many businesses know that something needs attention but are not sure where the legal duty sits, how serious the gap is or what level of support is proportionate. Start by telling us what is happening.
We can help when:
- A workplace incident or employee issue needs an immediate response
- Policies, risk assessments or contracts are out of date
- Managers are unsure how to handle absence, conduct or performance
- The business has grown, opened new sites or changed how people work
- A customer, tender or insurer is asking for stronger evidence of compliance
- There is no internal HR or health and safety team
- An existing team needs additional expertise or capacity
Health and safety support built around real work
The risks in an office, warehouse, workshop, customer site and mobile workforce are different. THSP reviews what your people actually do and helps you put suitable controls in place.
- Health and safety audits and reviews
- Policies, responsibilities and practical procedures
- General and task-specific risk assessments
- Workplace inspections and improvement plans
- Fire safety, first aid and emergency arrangements
- COSHH, manual handling, equipment and ergonomic risks
- Contractor, visitor, lone-working and mobile-worker arrangements
- Accident and incident investigation
The aim is straightforward: protect people, make responsibilities clear and give managers a system they can maintain.
HR and employment law support when decisions need to be made
People issues rarely arrive at a convenient time. THSP gives leaders and managers direct access to experienced advice, including:
- Employment contracts, handbooks and workplace policies
- Recruitment, onboarding and probation
- Absence, capability and reasonable adjustments
- Performance, conduct, disciplinary and grievance matters
- Flexible working, family leave and equality
- Redundancy, restructure, TUPE and organisational change
- Settlement discussions and employee exits
We explain what the business must do, where it has a choice and how to keep the process fair and properly documented.
Support for single-site, multi-site and mobile businesses
THSP can help you create consistent central standards while reflecting the risks and responsibilities at each site, customer location or homeworking arrangement. This gives senior leaders better visibility and local managers clearer expectations.
Training that people can use
We provide practical and accredited training for employees, supervisors and managers, including:
- Health and safety awareness and risk assessment
- Manual handling, fire safety and first aid
- DSE and homeworking
- Management responsibilities and difficult conversations
- Stress, mental health and workplace behaviour
- Employment law and people management
Ongoing support or help with one defined issue
Your business may need ongoing retained support, a one-off assessment, training, an HR project or help following an incident. We do not assume every organisation needs the same package.
We review the current position, identify the priorities and recommend a level of support that reflects your workforce, locations, risks and budget.
