We recently used Universal Safety Practitioners for a sitewide audit to benchmark our facility to industry standards. Jo was great to work with and provided helpful feedback on our paperwork and facility. The provided report was clear and gave a traffic light system of red, yellow, green for items that may require attention.

We used USP for our installation project for a 3G Football pitch. They were extremely efficient and professional. They handled the Health & Safety side of things very quickly and the team were really helpful. Communication was really good and I would definitely use them again and would certainly recommend them 100%
