Equipping the construction world with all the advice, tailored strategies and support needed to tackle unique challenges and make workplaces safer.
Equipping the construction world with all the advice, tailored strategies and support needed to tackle unique challenges and make workplaces safer.
People who recognise the essential need for effective health and safety management – but lack the time or expertise to do it themselves – that’s exactly where I step in as your trusted partner.
I’m a practical, hands-on safety professional with over 20 years of real-world experience helping the construction and built environment make workplaces safer through the implementation of proactive, focused safety management.
None of that fluffy nonsense, real pragmatic risk-reducing strategies that work.
Safety is not about ticking boxes on forms or completing checklists. It’s about looking out for each other. Paperwork won’t catch you if you slip and stumble, but your co-worker might.
It’s the people who make your workplace safe. Not those procedures tucked neatly away in a folder on a shelf gathering dust.
The real magic happens when people are engaged. Have open and honest conversations, feel valued and are empowered to do the right thing.
What’s stopping you from focusing on what matters and making a difference?
As the founder of Veritas Consulting, David has been at the heart of a UK health and safety consultancy for over two decades, helping businesses pave the path to sustainable organisational culture and foster a better understanding of workplace safety – while fixing the potholes along the way.
David is a Chartered Fellow (CFIOSH) of IOSH (The world’s largest membership organisation for recognised safety professionals), which honours individuals who have made significant contributions to influence the practice of safety and risk management in wider society.
As well as recognised for being among the most sought after practitioners in the industry, he is a frequent columnist contributor to well-read industry journals, a mentor-coach and adviser to CEOs, senior management, and people on the frontline.
Over the years, David has made a name for himself as a trusted voice in safety and risk management. Across the industry, he has used social media, and networking, published numerous blog articles, built long-term professional partnerships, appeared on TV, and has been interviewed by reputable organisations to solidify his enviable reputation.
By working with David, you can be assured that whatever you need, he will use everything he has learned over a long career in the industry to support, coach and act as a reliable resource and trusted business partner, rather than a man just walking around with a clipboard.
It is easier to describe what David does not do than list all the services he can dream up. He does not offer “off the shelf” safety risk management solutions. Instead, David works with businesses to identify what they need to overcome challenges and develop tailored solutions to improve organisational performance.
Businesses optimising their safety and risk management strategies are the core ingredients for improving safety performance.

Why safety professionals should invest in personal skills, not just tools
As a safety professional, your role is to protect people and create safer workplaces. While tools like risk assessment apps, software dashboards with bells and whistles, or safety tech systems may have their place, investing in your own skills is equally important.
Developing key personal skills – such as coaching, negotiation, and understanding human behaviour – can make you more effective in your work.
Here’s why and how these skills matter:

The silent threat of complacency on construction sites
In the fast-paced world of construction, where every second counts, complacency can emerge as a silent but potent threat to safety.
Despite the constant emphasis on protocols, training, and equipment, the human element remains a critical factor in ensuring a secure work environment.
