Independent
Many consultancy practices claim to be independent, but they usually offer some form of on-service. Empathy Environmental Consultants have no vested interests. We offer training courses, policy and procedure development, retained support and risk management audits covering over 40 health and safety issues. As such our audits and advice are completely unbiased.

Approach
We pride ourselves in providing responsive, innovative and effective risk management solutions. The process begins with a fact finding mission - we understand the legal requirements and have a great deal of experience of similar client situations, but we need to fully understand your specific situation and requirements to be able to provide a suitable service offering. Once we are satisfied that we have sufficient information, we will put forward a proposal of the service which we can provide to assist you. Once you are satisfied, and have commissioned our service, we will become part of your team in order to ensure understanding and satisfaction.
