Industries BOS Consultants Works With
BOS Consultants focuses on contractors who work in real, high-risk environments – where a practical HSE system matters more than a file on a shelf. We understand forestry, silviculture, haulage, construction and property maintenance work, and build Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) support around how your teams actually operate.
Timber Harvesting
We support timber harvesting contractors running mechanical or semi-mechanical operations in plantations and depots. This includes chainsaw work, harvesters, forwarders, loaders and depot handling.
- HSE Files for harvesting operations and depots.
- Baseline Risk Assessments for felling, processing and loading activities.
- HSE Plans aligned with client and legal requirements in forestry.
- Monthly HSE support per harvesting team/operation.
- Audit preparation for client and NOSA-style audits in forestry environments.
Silviculture & Brush Cutting
Silviculture and brush cutting teams face different risks to harvesting – from manual work on slopes to brush cutters, herbicides and re-establishment work. We design HSE systems that fit this type of work.
- HSE Files for silviculture and brush cutting contracts.
- Baseline RA covering planting, weeding, brush cutting and chemical use.
- Simple, field-friendly checklists and registers for supervisors.
- Toolbox talk topics focused on PPE, ergonomics and manual handling.
- Monthly HSE support per crew/operation.
Haulage & Transport
Haulage contractors move timber or materials between plantations, depots and mills. We help you manage road transport risks, loading/unloading activities and yard operations.
- HSE Files for timber and material transport operations.
- Risk assessments for loading, securing loads and offloading.
- Driver-focused controls, including fatigue, speed and maintenance.
- Basic incident and near-miss reporting structures.
- Support to align with client and mill yard rules.
Construction & Civil Work
For smaller construction and civil contractors, HSE can quickly feel overwhelming. We simplify the structure while still meeting client and legal expectations.
- HSE Files for project-based construction and civil work.
- Baseline RA for excavation, working at height, concrete work and plant.
- Site-specific HSE Plans that link directly to your RA.
- Checklists and registers for tools, equipment and site inspections.
- Audit preparation when clients or engineers require formal HSE audits.
Property Maintenance
Property maintenance contractors often work across multiple sites doing grass cutting, cleaning, minor repairs and general upkeep. We help you put a basic but real HSE structure around this work.
- HSE Files for estate, village or commercial property maintenance contracts.
- Risk assessments for grass cutting, gardening, basic repairs and small tools.
- Simple checklists for equipment, vehicles and daily inspections.
- Basic incident reporting structure and support.
- Optional link into monthly HSE support per operation/team.
