[edit] Introduction
Callsafe Services Limited is an occupational health and safety consultancy offering a
full range of services in the field of accident prevention.
The company was established in January 1986 by Bruce Calder, and was incorporated as Callsafe Services Limited on 9 October 1987. In June 2004, Dave Carr took over the company as Managing Director.
Callsafe Services Limited provides expertise from directly employed consultants and from associates where additional and specialist expertise is needed. This provides continuity and ensures that the correct person is assigned to each commission.
The Head Office is located in Rugeley, Staffordshire. The central location provides a convenient operational base for covering contract work in both national and international operations. Most of our directly-employed consultants and associates work from home
or our client’s premises, located throughout England, Scotland and Eire.
Callsafe Services Limited is knowledgeable in all aspects of health and safety legislation in both the UK and the Republic of Ireland. We are experienced in the whole range of services that a professional health and safety consultancy and trainer would perform:
