Recently, Optimum Safety helped us get all our ducks in a row for a large planting project covering subcontractors, a site with large tractors and lorries, deep water, power tools, and chainsaws. Optimum Safety sorted our comprehensive paperwork to make sure we were covered but also talked us through the whole thing in easy-to-understand language. They even spotted risk we didn't consider. Chris and his team get the balance of being 100% professional and reliable but easy to communicate with. My Square Metre won't be looking anywhere else for health and safety advice.

I run a small start up business and that means things change all the time, from moving offices to taking on new contracts and using different machinery. What makes Optimum Safety stand out is there understanding of the needs of businesses and their ability to work with you, not to rubber-stamp safety documents for insurance but to genuinely make your work safer and and make your staff feel valued. I don't mean to go on, but thee depth, thoughtfulness and detail that goes in to Optimum Safety's reports is testament to their years of commitment and real world understanding of any risk you could worry about. I use them, I will keep using them and I will keep telling people about them because they are literally the best.
