The Ablemarsh H&S Training Portal
In January, we were delighted to announce the launch of our new health & safety portal which can become your all-in-one platform for managing, scheduling and tracking employee training across core health & safety topics.
What are H&S Audits or General Risk Assessments?
Employers have a legal duty to protect the health, safety, and welfare of their employees as far as reasonably practicable. And, a Health & Safety audit is a useful tool to do so. With Ablemarsh, you can be confident that your workplace is safe and compliant with all relevant health and safety regulations.
Let us Support Your H&S Accreditation
Obtaining an accreditation can be difficult for companies that don't have the necessary skills and experience in-house. We can support companies through this process, providing them with the skills, knowledge, and experience to submit a successful application.
Managing Asbestos, Safely
If you manage a building built before 2000, you're legally required to assess and manage asbestos risk. Ablemarsh helps you meet your duties under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, with clear guidance and competent support. From surveys to risk assessments, we make it simple to stay safe and compliant.
Stay Compliant with Fire Door Regulations
Ablemarsh provides expert fire door inspections by FDIS-Certified Inspectors to ensure your doors meet legal standards. We assess door condition, hardware, seals, and signage, delivering clear reports and guidance. With new legal checks now required for buildings over 11m, we help you stay compliant—offering weekend visits to reduce disruption.
Raising Health & Safety Awareness

Asbestos: Your Duty
Do you know if the building you are occupying is safe and free from asbestos?
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) launched a campaign in January 2024 called Asbestos: Your Duty. The focus of the campaign considers buildings that people use in their daily lives, such as workplaces, schools, hospitals and places of worship and how to keep people safe from the future dangers of asbestos.
