Principle Designer Service Testimonials
I have worked with Kevin Kerin of Universal Safety Practitioners for approximately 9 years.
In my role as a Senior Project Manager (firstly within ISG and now with Thompsons) I have worked with Kevin and his company on a number of very high profile and high value projects as well as construction and refurbishment programmes including large multi-site role outs of up to 100 sites up and down the country, with Kevin fulfilling the role of both Principal Designer and Client Health and Safety Advisor.
Kevin’s health and safety and technical knowledge is second to none and I have always found him highly approachable, flexible as well as pragmatic in his approach to health and safety matters.
In my current role as Senior Project Manager for Thompson’s, Kevin and his company are supplying Principal Designer/Health and Safety support services to a number of my projects which gives me an extremely high level of technical health and safety support, making my role a great deal easier, knowing that the project health and safety elements are in safe and highly qualified hands.
As a company, USP always deliver on their promises and perform to the highest level, and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services and in particular the services of Kevin Kerin, to any prospective client.
Thompsons
I have worked with Kevin for 6 years on a large retail banking account which he has taken on various roles such as Principal Designer, Client Assurance, Client Liaison and providing general health and safety advice across many different topics linked to projects.
Kevin is a highly professional consultant who has the ability to work with people operating in many different project roles from operatives on site to the client themselves.
Kevin’s knowledge of Health and Safety is second to none and he is able to provide vast experience from his time in the industry to provide worked examples to new projects. His personality and great sense of humour makes him easily fit into any project team! I would happily recommend Kevin to work with any client.

Kevin and his company have been our health and safety advisors since 2005. He has advised on and implemented safe practices in the company’s workshops and office premises and been our appointed person for project-specific risk assessment, documentation and control as required by CDM. He has provided us with a fully functioning and easy to use health and safety management system, with successful auditing by external accreditors, including our CHAS certification;
He has been instrumental in developing and managing our fire risk assessments, as well as all company risk assessments and safe working procedures for our offices and workshops.
For our projects, Kevin and his company have provided all documentation and support in respect of our exhibition fit-out works, where we have held the role of Principal Contractor.
Where we have been asked to act in the role of Principal Designer by our clients, Kevin and his company have been instrumental in supplying this appointment, coordinating designers and sub-contractors, and creating all the required documentation, allowing us to work at this elevated level with our exhibition fit-out clients.
We have worked with Kevin and his team for 15 years and during this time we have had zero notifiable accidents, and I recommend him and his company without reservation.
