I’ve worked with Tom both as a colleague and as an external consultant, and in both capacities he has consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism and technical expertise. His approach to health, safety and environmental compliance is structured, commercially aware and grounded in operational reality. He doesn’t just interpret legislation — he translates it into practical, workable systems that genuinely support the way a business operates.Tom has a strong ability to balance risk management with commercial objectives. He understands that compliance must be robust, but also proportionate and aligned with business goals. His advice is always pragmatic, solutions-focused and tailored to the specific operational context, whether that involves complex, multi-site environments or fast-moving project work.What particularly stands out is his collaborative style. He engages effectively with stakeholders at all levels — from senior leadership teams to frontline operatives — ensuring that policies are not only written well, but embedded successfully. He builds trust quickly and communicates requirements clearly, making compliance feel achievable rather than burdensome.Through his company, Tom delivers a service that goes beyond box-ticking. He focuses on creating sustainable systems, improving safety culture and reducing risk exposure in a way that adds measurable value. I would confidently recommend his services to any organisation seeking practical, commercially intelligent and results-driven health, safety and environmental support

Mercia Safety Ltd provides practical, commercially focused health, safety and environmental consultancy to industrial, construction and recycling businesses across the West Midlands and surrounding regions.
We specialise in the preparation of professionally structured Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS), Safe Systems of Work (SSOW), environmental permit applications, Fire Prevention Plans, DSEAR assessments and ISO management system support (ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001). Our documentation is clear, proportionate and defensible — designed to withstand scrutiny from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), Environment Agency and local authorities while remaining workable in real operational environments.
Mercia Safety is led by a Chartered IOSH safety professional with over 20 years of hands-on industry experience. This practical background shapes our approach: we understand how sites actually operate, the pressures businesses face, and the importance of producing documentation that protects people without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.
Our clients include scrap metal recyclers, aggregates operators, manufacturers, contractors and growing SMEs requiring structured compliance support. We work with organisations that need reliable, regulator-ready documentation delivered efficiently and on time — whether that is a standalone RAMS package, support with an environmental permit variation, assistance preparing for inspection, or ongoing strategic SHEQ input at director level.
Unlike generic template providers, our work is tailored to the specific risks, processes and operational realities of each business. We take the time to understand the activity being undertaken and produce documentation that reflects real conditions, realistic control measures and clear lines of responsibility.
Above all, Mercia Safety Ltd focuses on proportionate compliance. We aim to provide clarity where regulation can feel complex, to deliver structured documentation that stands up to external scrutiny, and to support businesses in managing risk confidently and responsibly.See more
