About us
Hello my name is Stephen Shields, and I’m the director of Safety Assistance Limited. I assume you’re here to learn more about us, where we come from and what our ethos is? well you’re in the right place.
Safety Assistance was formed in early 2023 when I noticed a gap in the market for health and safety solutions that were not rediculously expensive, consisting of long contracts or were outright boring!
We’re based in Liverpool but have clients all over the UK. We offer our clients a turnkey business partnering solution leaving them with the satisfaction that their valued employees will go home safe at the end of every day and beyonnd, safety isnt just preventing accidents today its for a lifetime of good health and prevention of work related illnesses and thats an eithos we enbed into every decision we help our business partners make. Our goal is to become a trusted extension of your team, not just another consultant who sends over a policy and vanishes.
What makes us different is that we genuinely care. We care about the lone worker on a site at 3 a.m., the new starter who’s nervous around machinery, the site manager juggling compliance with day-to-day programme pressures — and of course, the business owner who wants peace of mind knowing they’re doing the right thing.
We take time to get to know you, your team, and how your business works. No jargon. No scare tactics. Just honest guidance, support when you need it, and solutions that make sense for you. Whether you need us for a quick job or ongoing support, we’re here to make safety simple, sensible, and something your team actually engages with.
Thanks for taking the time to get to know us. If our approach sounds like something that could benefit your business, we’d love to hear your story too.
Let’s make safety something people believe in — not just comply with.
