At ConsultDCT, we provide specialist safety management and incident investigation services to organisations operating in high-hazard industries.
Drawing on deep, practical experience in safety management systems, operational safety leadership, regulatory compliance, law enforcement and human factors, we deliver tailored solutions that protect people, assets, and reputations.
Whether you are developing a safety management framework from the ground up, responding to a serious incident, or seeking to strengthen your safety culture, we work with you to deliver clear, actionable outcomes, not just reports.
Our Expertise Includes;
Safety Management Systems (SMS) Design & Review
We design, review, and improve Safety Management Systems tailored to your organisation’s size, sector, and risk profile. Our work spans:
- Gap analysis against ISO 45001, ICAO Annex 19, ISM Code, and other applicable
standards - Policy and procedure development aligned to your operational context
- SMS implementation support and stakeholder engagement
- Performance monitoring frameworks and KPI development
Risk Assessment & Hazard Identification
We carry out structured, evidence-based risk assessments to help organisations understand and control their exposure to harm. Our services include:

- Control effectiveness reviews and barrier analysis
- Job safety analysis (JSA) and task-based risk assessment
Incident Investigation & Root Cause Analysis
When incidents occur, whether a near-miss or a serious event, a rigorous, independent investigation is essential. We apply structured methodologies to uncover what went wrong and why, including:
- Root Cause Analysis using Kelvin Topset, COMET, and causal factor charting
- Human factors and organisational factors analysis
- Witness interview planning and evidence gathering
- Investigation report writing for regulatory, legal, and internal audiences
- Corrective action development, tracking, and close-out verification
Safety Auditing & Assessment
Our audit and inspection services provide an objective view of how your safety systems are performing in practice, not just on paper. We offer:
- Third-party SMS and compliance audits
- Pre-regulatory inspection readiness reviews
- Site and operational safety inspections
- Findings reporting with practical, prioritised recommendations
Safety Culture Development
Rules and procedures alone cannot create a safe organisation. We help leadership teams and frontline workforces build a culture where safety is genuinely valued, through:
- Safety culture assessments and maturity modelling
- Just culture framework development
- Leadership coaching and safety behaviours workshops
- Frontline safety engagement programmes
Regulatory Compliance and Training
Keeping pace with evolving safety legislation and guidance is demanding. We help organisations stay ahead of compliance obligations and build internal capability:
- Regulatory mapping against UK HSE, IOGP, CAA, MCA, EASA, and international
frameworks - Compliance gap assessments and remediation planning
- Bespoke safety training design and delivery
- Investigator competency training and coaching
Whether you need independent investigation support following a serious incident, or want to proactively strengthen your safety management systems, we are here to help. We work with clients across aviation, marine, offshore energy, and complex industrial environments.
