Who is Direct Risk Solutions?
My name is Dave Smith, and I am a Chartered Safety and Health Practitioner with over 30 years of experience working within 'Risk' industries and environments.
​
I am based in Leeds and work mostly within the West Yorkshire area - providing a personal, honest, and common-sense approach to finding solutions to your Legal Health and Safety requirements. I will always be your main point of contact and will provide communication, guidance and advice throughout.
What I do
I specialise in assisting and supporting small to medium sized business with setting up, maintaining or reviewing their current Health and Safety arrangements and legal requirements including;
​
-
Health and Safety Policies.
-
General and Specific Risk Assessments and Method Statements.
-
Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmosphere Regulations (DSEAR).
-
Fire Risk Assessments and Fire Policies.
-
Accident reporting (RIDDOR).
-
First Aid requirements.
-
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
-
Manual Handling requirements.
-
Display Screen Equipment Assessments (DSE).
-
Hazardous Substances (COSHH).
-
Induction and Essential Training Documents.
-
Welfare Arrangements.
-
Training requirements.
I offer an ongoing support package - in which, for a small monthly fee, I can represent you as your “Competent Person”, provide 24/7 telephone support and advice, and include an annual Health and Safety audit visit. This is ideal for smaller companies without a dedicated H&S trained or qualified employee.
