R G Wilbrey Consultants Limited is the longest established, independent health and safety consultancy in the UK.
Our Founding
R G Wilbrey (Consultants) Limited was founded in 1964 by Roy Wilbrey based at his home in Wolverhampton. Roy’s background as a Chartered Engineer and Factory Inspector provided a deep understanding of the needs for employers to comply with the legislation surrounding Health and Safety in the workplace.
The business developed with the main purpose of giving effective support to employers.
Roy developed strong partnerships with many clients, many of which RGW are still supporting today. Our purpose-built headquarters in Wolverhampton provide the hub of the operations for our directly employed consultants/advisers.
Our Commitment
Successful contract delivery is the satisfactory completion of construction projects with year on year reduced accident rates. This can be achieved by the use of our extensive resources to ensure that the right information gets to the right people at the right time. This will ensure that sufficient time is given to all parties to plan, prepare and carry out their duties.
At RGW, we are committed to assisting our clients to achieve the highest standards of health and safety.
Quality Assurance
R G Wilbrey Consultants Limited provides a rigorous quality assurance programme which is supported by ISO 9001. Our consultants are given an extensive induction into the company over the first month of their employment; this is a minimum time period and may be extended for some employees.
Our consultants then undergo regular reviews including desktop reviews of their work, accompanied visits/meetings, and unaccompanied appraisals (involving a senior member of staff assessing site conditions shortly after a consultants visit). We regularly hold CPD events, Training sessions and consultants’ meetings.
We are ISO 9001 accredited and always strive to improve our processes and
procedures to offer ever higher standards of service to our clients.
Innovation
RGW has extensive experience in the trial and review of many Modern Methods of Construction.
Over the last half-century, we have worked with many parties to set up and determine the effectiveness of these methods for not only cost and time efficiency but also the safety implications on systems of work.
Employment
Our employment policy aims for the right person for the job, and any candidate wishing to join our team must have the ability and drive to attain our high standards.
