Brabners Protect — an introduction to our proactive health and safety solutions
Bespoke health and safety solutions and guidance for your business
Breaches of health and safety law result in criminal liability that can attract unlimited financial penalties and prison sentences. These are uninsurable and inevitably cause damage to your reputation and brand.
If the worst happens, our team of health and safety lawyers and consultants are by your side every step of the way.
Whether it’s ‘boots on the ground’ crisis management support, providing expert legal advice to help you conduct thorough internal investigations (or conducting them on your behalf), advising on RIDDOR reporting, advising on enforcement notices, engaging with regulators on your behalf or providing specialist representation at Court, we can help you to define a clear case strategy from the outset, designed to maximise your chances of successfully defending or (where that’s impossible) mitigating your case.
Our bespoke service always puts your best interests first with advice that’s independent from insurers. Our experienced health and safety practitioners have extensive experience across a wide range of sectors and act for many high-profile clients and household names.

Initial status review — how it works
Retained services — explained
“We've worked with Brabners Protect for over three years. Following the first year, the results in supporting the business were so impressive that we opted for the same amount of year one support in years two and three — and have just agreed to the same for year four. The support element is excellent, with the Brabners team working with the business to develop a robust safety management system and embed a positive safety culture within the organisation. Safety engagement has increased, as well as compliance. The safety management system we're implementing will allow us to achieve ISO 45001 in the near future.”
Polymeric Labels, 2024
“Brabners Protect provides practical solutions and expert advice, ensuring that we are always inspection-ready. During a recent compliance inspection, an external third party was impressed with the quality of the safety management system that has been developed... Brabners has also trained staff and Board members on topics such as leadership, the regulatory landscape, working at height and CDM regulations. I would highly recommend Brabners Protect to anyone who needs a professional health and safety consultancy.”
Operations Manager, Cransley School
“This is a small but extremely dedicated, well focused and professional team who are great to work with. Really dedicated to their clients’ needs and demands (willing to go the extra mile to ensure the job is not only done, but done correctly). Hard working, good lawyers and a large dose of common sense.”
Client feedback, The Legal 500
