Essential desk
A defined monthly allocation for advice, document checks and priority actions where demand is steady and manageable.
Outsourced construction health and safety support that stays useful.
Give your managers a reliable construction safety adviser to call, a clear route for document reviews and agreed monthly priorities—without immediately recruiting a full-time role.
Discuss your requirements →A practical retained service
More than a name on a policy.
A useful construction health and safety retainer should do more than supply a contact name for a tender. It should create an agreed way to raise questions, review documents, identify recurring gaps and help management decide what needs attention next.
Construction Safety Desk supports UK contractors, specialist subcontractors and project teams with construction-experienced advice delivered remotely. The first step is to understand your work, existing arrangements and likely demand so the retainer matches the real business rather than an off-the-shelf promise.
- Telephone, email and video-call advice for managers
- RAMS and construction phase plan review
- CDM dutyholder and project-information questions
- Policies, procedures and management-system improvements
- Tender, PQQ and client compliance evidence
- Incident follow-up and corrective-action guidance
- Agreed monthly priorities and management check-ins
Project desk
Focused support through tender, mobilisation, delivery or handover for a particular project or client requirement.
Extended desk
A wider ongoing scope for businesses with several live projects, recurring reviews or more regular management input.
Clear boundaries
Remote support, properly scoped.
The desk can help your team plan, document, review and decide. It does not replace suitable site leadership, supervision, worker consultation, task competence or the employer’s legal responsibilities.
Choosing the right model
Price follows the workload.
A contractor with one office, a small directly employed team and repeat low-complexity work needs a different arrangement from a business coordinating several projects and subcontractors. Quotes therefore consider response expectations, workforce and project profile, existing systems, document volume, client standards and whether other specialists or site attendance are likely to be needed.

Before you put it on our desk.
What is a construction health and safety retainer?
A retainer reserves an agreed level of ongoing professional support for your business or project. The scope can cover competent advice, document reviews, CDM questions, compliance priorities and management check-ins, with any exclusions made clear before work begins.
Can you be named as our competent health and safety adviser?
That depends on the organisation, risks, work and access needed to provide suitable assistance. We review the proposed arrangement before confirming how the service should be described. The employer always retains its legal duties.
Is the service completely remote?
The core service is delivered remotely by telephone, email and video call. Remote support does not replace site management, supervision or specialist input. If a site visit or another discipline is needed, that will be identified rather than hidden inside a generic package.
How much does retained safety support cost?
Pricing is based on the expected workload, response needs, business size, project risk and document volume. A clear monthly or project scope is agreed before work starts, and additional work is not assumed without discussion.
