Get to know us

Sustainable Safety for Industry. At Primis Safety Solutions, we believe that effective Health, Safety, and Environmental (HS&E) management should never be a barrier to doing business—it should be the backbone of it.

Led by Alan Bate (CMIOSH, MIIAI, MIIRSM), an exceptionally accomplished HS&E Director with over 25 years of operational and strategic experience, Primis Safety cuts through the noise. We do not believe in bureaucratic "box-ticking." Instead, we deliver pragmatic, legally robust solutions designed to protect your workforce, reduce your organisational risk profile, and ensure seamless business continuity.

With a proven track record of reducing incident rates by up to 95% and achieving zero Lost Time Incidents (LTIs) on major infrastructure projects (such as a £400M port terminal build), and delivering long-term sustainable change in businesses, we provide genuine value to modern businesses operating in simple office environments to complex, high-hazard sites.
