Strategic HSE design

Integrated management systems built for lasting impact — ISO-aligned, practical and owned by the people who run the work.

Culture-led transformation

Behaviour, challenge and learning habits that turn compliance into a living culture — delivered with coaching associates where needed.

Software & digital delivery

EHS platforms we integrate and configure, plus organisation-specific AI-assisted tools — audit, training, actions and dashboards in one rhythm.

About the practice

Senior-led teams — not a one-person bottleneck.

We elevate organisations by aligning operational safety with human potential, culture and long-term strategy. Core practitioners lead design and client relationships; associate coaches, auditors, trainers and software specialists join the team as the programme needs — from a single site review to multi-site ISO rollout or digital assurance build.

Our leadership has run major programmes in environments connected to global organisations including Pirelli, Honeywell and Compass Group — and we bring that operational depth, plus configured EHS platforms and AI-assisted workflows, to UK clients through teams sized for the work.

Fit

Who this practice is for — and who it is not.

A strong fit

  • Multi-site operators

    Property, FM and service businesses that need one coherent HSE story across locations and contractors.

  • Leadership teams under pressure

    SLT and Heads of HSE who want culture and systems to move together — not another slide deck.

  • Growing organisations

    Teams that need senior HSE judgment (including fractional cover) before a full-time director hire makes sense.

  • Assurance-driven environments

    Client standards, ISO certification paths, and audits that must reflect how work is actually done.

Not a fit

  • Tick-box only buyers

    If the goal is a certificate on the wall with no leadership ownership, we are not the right fit.

  • Emergency legal defence

    We advise on systems and culture; we are not a substitute for solicitors in active prosecution matters.

  • Commodity e-learning mills

    We design competence that sticks — not bulk generic modules sold by the seat.

How we work

Systems and people — in the same programme.

Lasting change begins with understanding people. Our approach combines robust system design with behavioural insight and leadership coaching — then assures the result so it does not fade after the kick-off workshop.

01

Assess & Align

We listen first. Through audits, culture mapping and stakeholder conversations, we align current practice with your risks, values, client standards and goals.

02

Design & Deliver

We co-create practical HSE systems, behavioural strategies and leadership programmes — scalable, ISO-aligned and built for how work actually happens.

03

Coach & Embed

Systems alone do not change behaviour. We coach leaders and teams so new habits stick — on site, in meetings and under pressure.

04

Assure & Sustain

KPIs, audits and corrective action keep progress honest. We leave you with ownership, not dependency — and a culture that can improve without us in the room.

“Safety is not an add-on. It is how your business breathes.”

Outcomes

What change has looked like in practice.

Anonymised vignettes drawn from multi-site programmes — not logo theatre. Metrics come from delivered work, not marketing invention.

Multi-site incident trajectory

Large facilities / food service environment

FAQ

Straight answers before you book.

What is HSE Coaching?+

HSE Coaching is a UK health, safety and wellbeing consultancy operated by Ataman Consulting Ltd (Company No. 13597881). It combines ISO-aligned systems, risk analysis, contractor assurance (CHAS/SSIP), behavioural safety, work-related stress (HSE Management Standards), ICF-credentialed coaching, and integrated digital programmes — delivered by senior-led project teams of associates, partner firms and configured software, scaled to each engagement.

What is fractional HSE leadership in the UK?+

Fractional HSE leadership means hiring senior HSE capability on a retained part-time basis — typically a fixed number of days per month — so a UK organisation gets Head of HSE judgment, competent-person support, board reporting and culture coaching without recruiting a full-time director. Legal duties remain with the employer; scope and authority are agreed contractually.

What is CHAS and SSIP accreditation support?+

CHAS (Common Assessment Standard) and SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) are UK contractor health and safety pre-qualification schemes. HSE Coaching helps contractors with gap reviews, policy and RAMS evidence, internal SSIP-style audits and Constructionline / SafeContractor applications so accreditation reflects real site practice.

What are HSE Management Standards for work-related stress?+

HSE Management Standards are the UK Health and Safety Executive's framework for managing work-related stress across six areas: demands, control, support, relationships, role, and change. Employers must assess and control psychosocial risk as part of health and safety law. HSE Coaching helps integrate this into ISO 45001 risk registers and leadership capability.

What is behavioural safety (BBS)?+

Behavioural safety (often called BBS — behavioural based safety) uses structured observation, feedback and leadership follow-up to reduce unsafe acts and strengthen learning culture. Effective programmes focus on observation quality and just culture — not checkbox volume. HSE Coaching designs and rebuilds BBS programmes for UK multi-site and contractor environments.

Does HSE Coaching provide ISO 45001 consultancy?+

Yes. HSE Coaching designs, implements and audits ISO 45001 (and related ISO 14001 / 9001) management systems for UK organisations — from gap analysis and documentation through internal audit programmes and certification readiness, integrated with leadership coaching where culture is the blocker.

Who is HSE Coaching?+

HSE Coaching is a UK HSE consultancy operated by Ataman Consulting Ltd. Engagements are senior-led and delivered through project teams — practice directors, specialist associates (coaches, auditors, trainers), partner firms and integrated software — assembled and scaled to each client's scope. Onur Ataman is Founder & Director; delivery is network-based, not a one-person bottleneck.

What is fractional HSE leadership?+

Fractional HSE is part-time senior leadership — typically retained days each month — so you get Head of HSE judgment, board reporting and coaching without a full-time hire. Scope and authority are agreed contractually; legal duties remain with the employer.

How is coaching different from H&S consultancy?+

Consultancy designs systems, assessments and assurance. ICF-credentialed coaching changes how leaders behave under pressure so those systems are lived. Most engagements use both: design the framework, then coach the people who must carry it.

Do you cover risk analysis and ISO 45001?+

Yes. Risk analysis covers suitable and sufficient assessments, RAMS quality, COSHH, fire and ergonomic interfaces. Management systems work covers ISO 45001 (and related standards) from gap analysis through rollout and audit readiness.

What are your AI solutions?+

We design and configure organisation-specific digital programmes — often with AI-assisted workflows under competent human oversight — covering risk & RAMS, site audits, PPE camera compliance, surveys, training tracking, emergency planning, incident learning, contractor interfaces and action reporting. These are tailored to your sites and assurance rhythm, not sold as a generic black box. See the full catalogue on the AI programmes page, or call to explore fit.

How does Mental Health First Aid fit with HSE?+

UK employers must manage risks to mental health as well as physical health. As an MHFA England Mental Health First Aider, we help frame psychosocial risk (including HSE Management Standards for stress) inside your H&S governance — with clear boundaries: MHFA supports early help and signposting, not clinical care.

Who typically books a strategy session?+

Operations directors, Heads of HSE, and owners of multi-site or contractor-heavy businesses in the UK who want a clear path on culture, systems, fractional cover, AI-enabled assurance tools or certification readiness — not a sales pitch.

Do you help with CHAS, SSIP or Constructionline?+

Yes. We support gap reviews, evidence packs and system alignment for CHAS, SSIP member schemes, Constructionline, SafeContractor and client pre-qualification questionnaires — so your accreditation reflects how you actually operate on site, not copied templates. See Contractor Assurance & UK Schemes.

Can you help with behavioural safety programmes?+

Yes. We design and rebuild behavioural safety (BBS) programmes — observation quality, feedback skills and leadership follow-up — so they create learning rather than form-filling. This is often combined with safety leadership coaching.

How do you approach work-related stress in the UK?+

We use HSE's Management Standards approach (demands, control, support, relationships, role, change) to assess psychosocial risk and integrate controls into your H&S governance — alongside MHFA England–informed responder networks where appropriate. This complements, not replaces, occupational health and clinical care.

Where are you based?+

HSE Coaching is a practice of Ataman Consulting Ltd, registered in England & Wales (Company No. 13597881), with office at 124 City Road, London. Work is delivered across the UK, on-site or remotely as needed.
