Our difference

Our difference

Salus Risk Consulting is a specialist national consulting business that provides independent consulting services, focused on the creation of workplaces and built environments that are safe for all.

About Salus

Outcome-based advice, focused on our clients’ objectives: built environments that are inherently inclusive for every end user and visitor, and both functional and compliant in use.

Why early matters

Design it out. Don’t fix it up.

There are significant cost savings when health and safety are integrated at early stages of design rather than as fix-ups during or after construction.Salus Risk Consulting

Salus works with architects, engineers and builders from concept onwards, so hazards are removed on paper, where it costs least.

Safety in Design workshops
Why safety belongs in design Across a project's life, the ability to design out hazards is highest at concept and design, while the cost of changing the building rises steeply through construction and operation.
