One of our Directors recently led a session at a dedicated Safety Day for a group of companies. Presenting to an audience seated at round tables, he opened by outlining the operational structure of AM Specialists Group, highlighting both our safety consultancy and training divisions.

The core of his presentation focused on three critical elements of modern health and safety management:

Safety Culture: Strategies for moving beyond basic compliance to embed proactive, positive safety behaviours across an entire organisation.

Targets and KPIs: Establishing clear, measurable metrics that genuinely reflect safety performance and drive continuous operational improvement.

Control of Contractors: Practical frameworks for ensuring that all third-party workers align with your site's stringent safety standards and procedures.

Engaging directly with businesses to discuss these challenges is one of the most effective ways to elevate overall workplace safety standards. If your organisation is planning a corporate safety day or needs expert consultancy to strengthen your safety culture and contractor management processes, contact our team.

🏔️ Three Peaks. 23 hours and 34 minutes. £1,582 raised for The Royal British Legion.

Last month, three members of the AMSG team: Chris, David, and James, took on the National Three Peaks Challenge, tackling Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, and Snowdon in a demanding test of physical endurance, mental resilience, and teamwork.

Starting at midday on Ben Nevis, pushing through a night-time ascent of Scafell Pike, and finishing with a morning climb and descent on Snowdon, they conquered all three peaks in an incredible 23 hours and 34 minutes!

It was an immense physical and mental challenge, with long miles, steep climbs, and very little rest along the way. But reaching the bottom of Snowdon and celebrating their achievement with a well-earned glass of ch*****ne made every step worthwhile! 🥂

A special thank you goes to Mark, who provided vital support throughout the challenge, driving between locations and ensuring the team had the backing they needed to keep going. His contribution was invaluable, and the challenge wouldn’t have been the same without him.

With the official fundraising page now closed, we’re delighted to announce the final total: £1,582 raised for The Royal British Legion!

Thanks to the generosity of 64 incredible supporters, the team smashed their original £500 fundraising target by more than 300%. We’d like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who donated, shared our updates, and supported the team throughout their journey.

At AMSG, we’re proud to employ veterans, active reservists, and Army Cadet Force instructors. Supporting the Armed Forces community is therefore a cause particularly close to our hearts. The funds raised will help The Royal British Legion continue its vital work supporting serving personnel, veterans, and their families.

Three peaks conquered. Fundraising target smashed. One fantastic team achievement.

Congratulations to Chris, David, and James on an outstanding effort, and thank you to everyone who helped make it possible. 👏

Updates to the Common Assessment Standard Version 6 are bringing notable shifts to pre-qualification and health and safety compliance. As renewal dates approach, understanding these structural changes is essential for maintaining a verified status.

Crucially, key requirements covering workforce competency, supervision, and staying up to date with technical changes have now moved into the mandatory Quality section. This means holding ISO 9001 alone will no longer exempt a business from having to demonstrate and record how its workforce is trained and supervised. Furthermore, health and safety expectations across Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) and pre-qualification platforms are tightening. For example, having a documented Drugs & Alcohol Policy is now mandatory, and assessors require concrete evidence showing how it is actively enforced on site.

It is also vital to note that these competency and supervision arrangements must extend beyond direct employees to include key subcontractors under your control. Across all sections, assessor expectations have raised the bar; simply uploading a policy document or citing an external consultant is no longer sufficient. Assessors now expect tangible, dated proof—such as active training matrices, site supervision logs, and documented legislative review processes.

Reviewing your evidence and subcontractor management processes well in advance of your renewal date will ensure a seamless verification process. If you need support auditing your compliance documentation or preparing for your next SSIP or Common Assessment Standard renewal, our consultancy team is here to help.

Maintaining compliance just became much more straightforward.

We have rolled out a new practical update to the AMDOC Advisor Portal: Training Revision History.

Users can now access, review, and print all previous revisions of their training records directly from the Training List. When a certificate expires and is subsequently renewed, the historical data is preserved rather than overwritten.

This update provides several immediate operational benefits for your compliance management:

Instantly demonstrate historical compliance to site inspectors and auditors without digging through physical archives or older spreadsheets.

Maintain a transparent, accessible timeline of when staff have renewed critical safety qualifications, establishing a proven track record of competency.

Keep a full, permanent record of your team's professional development over time.

Log in to your AMDOC dashboard today to view your complete training timeline and streamline your safety record-keeping.
