Our service
HSB’s Authorising Engineer Services can provide an independent, unparalleled level of governance for your mechanical systems via our in-house Authorising Engineers (and where applicable, our in-house Vertical Transportation Consultants). As a UKAS-accredited Type-A Inspection Body, our chartered engineers with technical authority are experts in UK legislation and best practices. We can work with your Engineering and Facilities Teams to build resilience into your Safe Systems of Work from the ground up.
Our recommendations are practical, and focused on meaningful improvements to regulatory compliance and reporting, which means you can confidently demonstrate to regulators and stakeholders that you are taking a responsible and rigorous approach to safety and Safe Systems of Work.
What we will deliver
- Independent technical audits: Regular, rigorous auditing of your Safe Systems of Work to ensure alignment with Health Technical Memoranda (HTMs) and statutory regulations.
- Competency assessments: Formal interviewing, assessment, and appointment recommendations for your Authorised Persons and Competent Persons.
- Policy and strategy documentation: Review and ratification of your safety policies and operational procedures to ensure they are robust and defensible.
- Mentoring and incident support: Ongoing professional guidance for your internal teams and expert technical support in the event of an operational failure or near-miss.
The provision of our strategic oversight will ensure your organisation continues to meet, and often exceed, its legal obligations, whilst also ensuring your critical operations can continue uninterrupted.
