Our vision
We are passionate about driving safety culture and enjoy the challenge of getting others to believe that a safe workplace is both achievable and essential to success in business.
What we do at Donaldson Safety
The core business of Donaldson Safety is to provide risk management, safety and consulting solutions for the UK rail and construction industry.
Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems
Is your company is looking for accreditation to ISO9001:2015, OHSAS18001:2007, ISO14001:2015, or compliance to RISQS (Railway Industry Supplier Qualification Scheme)? We can help.
At Donaldson Safety, we can help our clients to develop and improve the performance of their Safety Management Systems. Often, the first step in increasing performance is to conduct a detailed safety and health audit of policies, programs, record keeping, and loss data. The information from the audit is used to develop a management action plan that will result in improved performance. Our goal is to provide a noticeable return on investment for our clients.
Goals
- Establish a robust Plan-Do-Check-Review cycle for SHEQ issues embedded within existing business processes
- Enable your business operations to reliably deliver compliance and risk control resulting in impact reduction on your business
- Obtain certification to internationally renowned standards and/or meet industry standards
Benefits
- Enhanced SHEQ performance: compliance, risk management, impact reduction
- SHEQ programmes that lead from the top, as legitimate business issues
- Certification that has value, not just as a piece of paper on the wall
Audit & Assurance
Safety, Health, Environment and Quality Audits offer the best return on investment when conducted by experienced professionals.
When planning a client audit, we are able to provide a well-rounded audit team including Qualified Lead Auditors experienced in all audit procedures along with Chartered Safety Professionals (CMIOSH). They come equipped with strong technical knowledge of the UK Rail and Construction Industry and UK Legislation as well as exceptional safety, health, environment and quality management practice and knowledge.
Our Audit & Assurance Services provide the SHEQ performance insight required for making the right management decisions – for improving business operations.
Goals

- Stay informed – make informed and precise business decisions
Workplace Risk Assessment
As an Employer, you need to think about what might cause harm to people and decide whether you are taking reasonable steps to prevent that harm.
Identifying potential hazards and managing the risks to health and safety is vital in ensuring a safe working environment.
At Donaldson Safety, we will complete written risk assessments on activities that might, or do, present a significant health & safety risk to either employees or others affected by your work activities. These will be carried out at places where the risk is likely to be encountered, and those at risk will be informed of the results, procedures and of any significant change to them.
The goal should always be to ensure that enough precautions have been taken to prevent harm from happening.
Goals
- Develop a risk assessment process to identify hazards, assess risks, and determine effectiveness of risk controls
- Define a clear process of when to apply risk assessment, and what tools to use
- Lead and support risk assessments to generate meaningful information about existing controls and their quality
Benefits
- Provides risk-based priorities to inform the business strategy
- Engages and informs personal from across the operations on the stays of SHEQ risks
- Refocuses the business away from ‘reactive fire-fighting' and onto ‘planned prevention'
