We at Orchard HSE Ltd are dedicated to improving leadership and to promote excellence in all aspects of Health, Safety and Environmental management, by providing:
- Specialist HSE consultancy and training service, particularly to local Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) sites, covering such topics as chemical mixtures classification, MAH & MATTE assessments, and emergency incident management.
- Management system support to companies, for developing, implementing, or integrating their management systems to meet the requirements of the international standards ISO45001:2018, ISO14001:2015, ISO9001:2015.
- Compliance registers, compliance evaluation and Internal auditing against the requirements of ISO45001:2018, ISO14001:2015, and ISO9001:2015.
Our aim is to help you get the right cost-effective package which delivers what you really need rather than an a “one size fits all” solution. If it’s an area where we are unable to help directly, then we’ll say so, and hopefully point you to someone who may be able to help.
Delivery is mainly carried out by the Principal Consultant, who is a highly qualified and experienced individual, who held senior HSE positions with an international stainless-steel group, based in Finland, prior to his retirement.
Rob Charlesworth
Principal Consultant
BSc (Eng), CEng, MIMMM, CEnv, PIEMA, CMIOSH
I have over 30 years’ experience of managing Health, Safety and Environment from a line managers perspective, and have been involved with:
- Researching, developing, and implementing systems and procedures to satisfy the requirements of the “Competent Authority”, as I spent a number of years working as the manager responsible for EHSQ issues at the Upper Tier COMAH (Control of Major Accident Hazards) site in Sheffield and have continued to support that site, following my retirement from them in 2015. The experience I have gained has help me to provide specialist HSE consultancy services to other companies, two of which were also subject to the COMAH regulations.
- Providing management system support to several companies, for developing, implementing, or integrating their management systems to meet the requirements of ISO45001:2018, ISO14001:2015, ISO9001:2015.
- Third-party auditing for a UKAS certified accreditation body (CARES – Certification Authority for Reinforcing Steels), which is a worldwide accreditation body and is active in over 50 countries. I also provide their specialist H&S advice.
I am a member of three different institutes and a registered Occupational Safety & Health Consultant (OSHCR). My profile on the OSHCR website can be found by clicking here and my “LinkedIn” profile can be found by clicking here.
