Two disciplines. One consultancy.
Many small businesses buy HR advice from one provider and health & safety from another, or pay a national firm for both and rarely speak to the same person twice. HRBuzz covers both, personally.

Health & safety and accreditation support
Health & safety support and accreditation projects are scoped around your business rather than sold as packages. Speak to us today to find out about our pricing.
Accreditation and supplier framework support
Need CHAS, SMAS, Constructionline or another accreditation, or help getting onto supplier frameworks? The right accreditations strengthen your processes, demonstrate professionalism and unlock contracts that ask for evidence of how you look after your people. We help you prepare, apply and stay compliant.
How we can help
First application or ongoing maintenance
- Reviewing your existing policies, procedures and documentation
- Identifying gaps against accreditation and framework requirements
- Developing HR and health & safety documentation
- Preparing evidence for applications and assessments
- Responding to pre-qualification questionnaires and requests for information
- Ongoing guidance to maintain the required standards
Why it matters
Compliant, credible and contract-ready
Accreditations and supplier frameworks can feel like a mountain of paperwork. We make the process clear and manageable, so you understand what is actually required and spend your time running the business.
It is not just paperwork, either. The aim is practical systems your business genuinely uses, leaving you confident that the standards you sign up to are the standards you meet.
