(Words you NEVER want to hear in the workplace…
“OH HELL NO”!!
Because “OOPS” should never happen at work!)
Apex Risk Assessments are health and safety consultants who help small businesses stay on the right side of the law — without losing the will to live. We provide health and safety courses, fire and risk assessment services and Legionella risk assessment support for businesses in Reading, Slough, Basingstoke and Hounslow, and across the South East.
If your business doesn’t fully comply with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (HSAWA74), relax. You’re not alone. In fact, you’re in the majority. Most small business owners know they should be doing more about health and safety, but worry that once they start, they’ll unleash an unstoppable force of paperwork, meetings, high-vis vests and staff who suddenly “have concerns”.
They’re also tired of consultants who tell them exactly what they already know, nod sympathetically, and then send an invoice that requires medical attention. And don’t get them started on the fear sellers — the ones who open with prison sentences, close with massive fines, and somehow still don’t actually help.
What business owners really want is simple: comply with the law, keep people safe, and get on with running the business.

That’s where Apex Risk Assessments step in — calmly, sensibly, and without a PowerPoint full of skull-and-crossbones.
We help you introduce a practical safety management system based on HSG65 (Plan, Do, Check, Act — not Panic, Overreact, Blame the Staff). We start with the basics: risk assessments that actually reflect reality, safe systems of work people will follow, and training that doesn’t send everyone to sleep. No box-ticking Olympics. No paperwork for paperwork’s sake.
Once clients get it, they usually want more. Not because we’ve frightened them, but because things genuinely improve. Staff become easier to manage, contracts are easier to win, and insurance conversations stop feeling like a hostile interview under a bright light.
Most importantly, we work for you. We’re employed to argue your case — with the HSE, environmental health officers, insurers, and anyone else who needs reminding how your business actually operates.
