Welcome to Wilkins Safety Group
THE WILKINS SAFETY GROUP’s health and safety consultants, based in Somerset, take the worry of dealing with Health & Safety regulations off your hands, leaving you free to concentrate on running your business the way you want to.
We specialise in supporting small businesses that cannot afford to employ a health and safety manager.
In our experience a small firm that does not presently comply with the Health and Safety at Work Act of 1974 (HSAW74) is part of the majority of small firms in the UK.
The Wilkins Safety Group work with all kinds of industries and are recognised providers of Health & Safety Training.
The Wilkins Safety Group was established in January 1992 and and has been helping companies with sound advice for over 25 years.

The Wilkins Safety Group has carried out hundreds of jobs as CDM Coordinators, under the Construction (Design & Management) Regulations 2007. However this position has been removed by the Construction (Design & Management) Regulations 2015 and the duties split between Principal Designer, Client and Principal Contractor.
The Wilkins Safety Group are an APS Registered Practice and Award Winning CDM Consultants having won Highly Commended as APS National Consultancy of the Year 2016.
Our CDM Consultants can offer a complete CDM service to UK businesses, enabling us to act as ‘Principal Designer’ as well as CDM Adviser for Clients, Architects and Designers and also as CDM Adviser to Principal Contractors.

“I found this course (CDM2015) very useful with exchange of views and the different aspects the delegates were interested in”
“That was an excellent delivery yesterday – thank you very muchThe forum of opinion seemed completely satisfactory and a credit to you for your organisational skills”
Course (CDM2015) was particulary good for those who have had little exposure to CDM previously
Informative and interspersed with humour which facilitates memory of important bits
A very good seminar – Thank you
(CDM 2015 – Designer Risk Assessment Course)
Very informative course (CDM2015 for the Smaller Builder) with good content that doesn’t overload or scare those that have not been used to this before.
Very interesting and in depth training (CDM2015 for the Smaller Builder) which will improve our working site safety tremendously.
Many Thanks
Good informative course (CDM2015 for the Smaller Builder). We will tighten up on health and safety, keep on top of risk assessments and generally keep a safe and tidy site
A great course (Asbestos Awareness) makes you think about your role and responsibilities, I would recommend this course.
Great course (Asbestos awareness) I will be more aware on site and in advising clients
(CDM 2015 for Smaller builder course) As I knew very little of my responsibilities I will do everything differently – Very helpful
The contribution that you have made to the understanding of our compliance requirements, and the support you have provided at relatively short notice, has been much appreciated and has played a part in a significant improvement in Health & Safety at Framptons.
Enjoyed the day (CDM2015 Awareness Course 9th May 2016) and found the training interesting. It was delivered in a clear and understandable manner.
Thanks
Good Facilitator -(CDM 2015 Awareness Course 9th May 2016)
Have more awareness of client responsibilities – especially for building managers. Ensuring effective communication will be stressed.
Thank you – (CDM2015 Awareness Course 9th May 2016)
Acting as principal designer, Jon is excellent at making clear the main areas and constraints which the design team has to consider when developing this large scale and complex heating system renewal at Saltram House…Jon’s quiet overviewing approach provides the freedom for the engineers and cost team to develop their designs whilst Jon overviews and assists where appropriate.
