This month marks 10 years of WT Consultancy. A decade is a milestone worth pausing for, not just to celebrate the numbers — 222 retained clients, over 20,000 risk assessments — but to look at what those numbers represent in real terms.

A decade of trust
Retained clients aren’t just statistics; they’re long-term partnerships. Many of the organisations we began working with in our first year are still with us today. That consistency reflects the trust placed in our team to deliver practical, compliant, and forward-thinking solutions, year after year.

​Risk assessments at scale
20,000+ risk assessments means thousands of workplaces made safer, staff better protected, and management better equipped. From small firms to large multi-site operations, each assessment has been about turning regulation into clear, actionable steps. Our experience at scale helps us spot patterns quickly and offer insights that go beyond the tick-box.

What that means for clients

• Clarity — Complex regulations, simplified into plain guidance.
• Consistency — Reliable support that adapts as your organisation grows.
• Confidence — Assurance that compliance and safety are handled with rigour.

Looking ahead
The past 10 years have taught us that risk management is not a one-off task — it’s an ongoing process that works best when there’s a trusted adviser on hand. As we look forward to the next decade, our focus remains the same: helping organisations stay compliant, reduce risk, and build safer workplaces.

​To all of our clients, past and present, thank you for being part of this journey. Here’s to the next 10 years of safer, stronger businesses.

At WT Consultancy, we take immense pride in the successes of our clients – and today, we’re celebrating a fantastic result for one of them.

When this hospitality business received a Food Hygiene Rating of 4 in mid-2023, the team was understandably disappointed. Determined to reach the highest standard, they partnered with our consultant Chris Francis, who worked closely with the Head Chef and kitchen staff to put effective improvements into place.
Chris took a hands-on, practical approach to achieving compliance and embedding a strong food safety culture. His work included:

• Using the WT Portal to add relevant checks and ensure consistent record-keeping.
• Delivering food hygiene awareness training to staff.
• Conducting scenario-based training in the kitchen to reinforce best practice in real time.
• Carrying out unannounced food safety audits to highlight areas for improvement and keep the team inspection-ready.

Thanks to these steps, the client was more than ready when the Environmental Health Officer (EHO) returned for a follow-up visit. The result? A much-deserved Food Hygiene Rating of 5 – the highest possible score.
Even more impressively, the EHO confirmed that the business is now classed as low risk, meaning it won’t need another inspection for four years.

The client is absolutely delighted with the outcome, and we couldn’t be prouder of Chris’s hard work in making this happen.
​
👏 A huge well done to Chris and the kitchen team!

AI in Health & Safety: The New Frontier of Dynamic Risk ManagementHealth & Safety has always been about assessing hazards, implementing controls, and managing risk. But in many sectors — construction, events, engineering, hospitality — static risk assessments often prove insufficient. Hazards change, environments shift, people move. What’s needed is responsiveness: the ability to assess risk in real-time, adapt to what’s happening on the ground, and take immediate preventive measures.
Enter AI — and in particular tools like WT Consultancy’s Lifeguard. This kind of technology is transforming how risk is managed on site, from “pre-planning plus checklists” to something more dynamic, interactive, and situationally aware.

What is Lifeguard?Lifeguard is WT Consultancy’s AI-powered risk assessment software. Its aim: enabling dynamic, on-site risk assessments using real-time inputs and delivering insights and suggestions instantly. Key features include:

• Real-time Risk Assessments: instead of relying on pre-filled or static documents, Lifeguard generates risk assessments tailored to current conditions. WT Consultancy SW Ltd
  
• Chat-style Interface: users are guided through simple questions; based on answers, the tool analyses data and identifies hazards, control measures, etc. WT Consultancy SW Ltd
  
• Actionable Insights: not just identifying hazards but suggesting preventive measures, safety protocols, etc., so users can act immediately. WT Consultancy SW Ltd
  

Why Dynamic Risk Assessments MatterHere are some of the reasons static risk assessments have limits, and why dynamic ones (like what Lifeguard offers) are increasingly valuable:

1. Changing Conditions
   Weather, personnel, equipment, surroundings — all these can change on-site. A plan made months ago might not reflect the reality now. If something unexpected happens (say, heavy rain, new machinery arrival, extra staff, or an unplanned subcontractor), static assessments may miss risks.
   
2. Speed of Response
   If hazards are spotted but not addressed fast, incidents can happen. A tool that helps you assess and act in real time helps close that gap.
   
3. Compliance & Documentation
   Regulators increasingly expect evidence of ongoing risk management, not just “we had a document.” Having dynamic records, showing what hazards were assessed when, and what controls were implemented, helps with audits, compliance, and if ever there’s investigation.
   
4. Proactive Culture
   When staff see risk assessment as something active, not just a tick-box, they are more likely to stay alert, spot hazards, and participate in safety. AI tools can support that culture by making safety more accessible and less burdensome.
   

How Lifeguard Handles Dynamic Risk in the FieldLet’s dig into how a tool like Lifeguard can operate in the field to handle dynamic risk assessments.
FunctionHow Lifeguard Supports ItBenefits / ImpactsInstant hazard detectionThrough questions & real-time input (e.g. what equipment is present, what is the weather, who is on site etc.) → the AI analyses risk dynamically.Fewer blind spots; hazards that weren’t part of the original plan are flagged; responsive safety control.
Tailored controlsThe system doesn’t simply apply generic policies but suggests preventive measures suited to the actual site, tasks, and conditions.More relevant controls, better buy-in, fewer unnecessary/over-burdensome steps.
Continuous updateIf conditions change (for example, new machinery arrives, more workers, unexpected event), reassessments can be triggered via the interface.Maintains safety throughout the work, rather than only at planning stages.
User-friendly interactionChat-like Q&A interface means less technical jargon, easier usability even for non-specialists.Higher adoption, fewer mistakes, more consistent assessments.
Records & accountabilityAll interactions and decisions can be logged. Makes it easier to trace what was considered, when, and by whom.Stronger evidence for audits or investigations; helps improve practices over time.
Possible Challenges & How to Address ThemWhile AI tools bring a lot of promise, there are always challenges. Some things to be aware of:

• Accuracy of Inputs: The tool can only work with what it is told. If input is wrong or incomplete, the assessment could miss something.
  Mitigation: Ensure staff are trained in giving good data; use sensors or other aids where possible.
  
• Over-reliance on the Tool: There’s a danger that people might rely on the AI and stop using their own judgment or on-site observations.
  Mitigation: Emphasise that the AI is a support, not a replacement. Incorporate manual checks. Maintain safety culture and observational vigilance.
  
• Cost & Accessibility: Depending on how Lifeguard is priced, smaller companies might find adoption harder.
  Mitigation: WT Consultancy could offer tiered pricing; trial periods; or training packages to help smaller sites.
  
• Integration with Existing Systems: Companies often already have established H&S policies, paperwork, compliance systems. New tools must integrate or at least not conflict.
  Mitigation: Lifeguard should ideally export reports, integrate with existing document management, compliance software. Training should cover how it fits with current processes.
  

Looking Ahead: The Future of AI in Health & SafetyAI tools like Lifeguard are just the beginning. Some trends to watch:

• Sensor and IoT Integration: real-time environmental sensors (noise, gas levels, temperature, structural integrity) feeding data continuously into risk assessment tools.
  
• Predictive Analytics: Using historical data + machine learning to predict where risks are likely before they emerge, e.g. which tasks or sites have tended to have incidents.
  
• Augmented Reality (AR): overlaying risk info directly on site via AR glasses or mobile devices.
  
• Behavioural AI: assessing human behaviour (fatigue, complacency, safety habits) to prompt interventions.
  
• Regulatory Evolution: standards catching up so that dynamic assessments become expected, or even required.
  

ConclusionHealth & Safety in the modern workplace demands agility. Static assessments are necessary, but not sufficient. WT Consultancy’s Lifeguard AI tool shows how dynamic, real-time risk assessment in the field is not just possible but practical. It empowers site managers and workers to respond to what is, in the moment — spot hazards, adjust controls, and keep people safe.
If you’re responsible for safety in the field, whether in construction, events, engineering, or elsewhere, embracing tools like Lifeguard could mean fewer incidents, more compliance, and a stronger safety culture.

“Skipping a risk assessment might save 30 minutes today… but it could cost £30,000 tomorrow.”

When it comes to workplace safety and compliance, risk assessments are often seen as just another piece of paperwork. Something to tick off the list quickly and move on from. But the reality is far more serious: failing to carry out or update risk assessments can have long-lasting consequences that go well beyond the time “saved.”
The Hidden Costs of Skipping Risk Assessments

🔹 Fines and Legal Fees
Regulators don’t take kindly to negligence. Skipping risk assessments can lead to hefty fines, costly legal disputes, or even prosecutions. These expenses far outweigh the minor time investment needed to complete an assessment properly.

🔹 Lost Productivity
An accident caused by an unassessed risk can halt operations entirely. From downtime in production to delays in client work, the ripple effects on productivity can last weeks—or longer.

🔹 Damaged Reputation
Clients, partners, and the public expect safe and professional operations. A safety incident can quickly tarnish your brand and make people question whether they can trust your organisation. Rebuilding that reputation is slow and expensive.

🔹 Impact on Staff Morale
Employees want to feel safe at work. When risks aren’t properly managed, staff may feel undervalued or anxious. Low morale often leads to higher staff turnover, which brings recruitment and training costs into the equation too.
Prevention is Always Cheaper Than CureInvesting a small amount of time in regular, thorough risk assessments is one of the most cost-effective steps any business can take. It demonstrates compliance, builds trust, safeguards productivity, and protects the most valuable asset of all—your people.
