Operational Assurance Group is an experienced, specialist consultancy dedicated to supporting UK industrial operations with practical, compliant, and audit-ready health, safety, and risk control solutions. We work across the construction, chemical, and petrochemical sectors, providing documentation and consultancy services that enable confident operational delivery while protecting people and businesses.
Operational Assurance Group was established to meet a clear need within the UK's industrial sectors: accessible, expert safety consultancy that understands the realities of on-site operations. With years of collective experience across construction sites, chemical manufacturing facilities, and petrochemical plants, our team brings practical, sector-specific knowledge to every engagement.
We have built our reputation on delivering workable safe systems of work that satisfy regulatory requirements without imposing unnecessary administrative burden.

From small-scale site-specific projects to multi-year framework agreements with tier-one contractors, we tailor our approach to the operational context and risk profile of each client.
Our expertise spans health and safety legislation, CDM compliance, permit to work systems, COSHH assessments, environmental risk frameworks, and specialist high-risk activity planning. We remain current with evolving HSE guidance and industry best practice, ensuring our clients benefit from up-to-date, defensible documentation that stands up to audit and tender scrutiny.
