Health and Safety Consultants should be experienced enough to cover every health and safety need from construction site safety visits to highly specialist risk assessments and CDM coordinator roles to air monitoring for dangerous substances. Well experienced health consultants also cover DGSA (Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser) services. Safety consulting as a whole allows businesses to have their health and safety practices brought up to a high standard. Their duties include a number of criteria that will be discussed further. One of the safety consultant's first duties includes a thorough evaluation of the existing safety related policies and understanding them clearly. Secondly a health consultant is required to identify problems in their specific work stations and offices. They are required to observe how and how often safety practices are carried out well and accordingly. Walking through the working area, inspecting the environment and testing machinery can be carried out which will also be useful as a health consultant. Another main duty of a health consultant comprises of being bought into a work place in response to various types of accidents that may have occurred onsite due to certain mishaps. They will have to investigate the conditions that lead towards the accident as well as carry out a follow-up. As a health and safety consultant, you will also be required to write safety manuals and safety policies that are solely related to the business or work place that you are inspecting or working on. Hence for this responsibility a health and safety consultant should require a clear and directive writing style and also a clear understanding of risk management. A safety consultant should have the ability and expertise to present these types of training programmes and ensure that all the required fields are covered and shared with the employees. As a health and safety consultant you have to be alert with new safety regulations. Not doing so your job will be ineffective when offering advice and recommendations to your clients.
