Posted By Paul Leadbetter Kirstie You don't necessarily need any qualifications to practise H & S but you do need to be competent! All good safety advisers know the limits of their expertise. At the very least, you will need professional indemnity insurance in case you get something seriously wrong and a client sues for recompense; you may also want to consider public liability cover. Of course, if you take on any employees, you must have employer's liability insurance, too. Good luck in your new venture. Paul
