Safety Rocks Limited

Eve Lake-Grange, Championship Manager for British F4, summed it up well when asked what made Safety Rocks the right fit:

"The championship was impressed by Safety Rocks' energy and drive to improve health and safety outside of the inner track."

That phrase, outside of the inner track, is exactly where we focus. The safety decisions that matter most in motorsport aren't always the visible ones. They happen in the planning, the briefings, the risk assessments that take place long before race day.

Since 2025, we've been working with British F4 on a strategic partnership aimed at improving access to tailored safety training and raising standards across the sport. We're proud of what that collaboration stands for.

If you're involved in motorsport at any level, we'd love to hear what health and safety looks like in your world.

Peter Hodgkinson spent 20 years at the highest level of Formula 1. His message to motorsport teams is simple, and worth taking seriously.

Tick-box health and safety training will catch up with you eventually. And when it does, you don't want to be explaining your paperwork to the HSE.

Real safety culture starts with real commitment.

May in a snapshot 📸

Training rooms, pit lanes, airport operations, paddock partnerships - what a month it's been. Different industries, different environments, but the same goal everywhere we go: making safety genuinely matter where it counts most.

And we've still got British F4 Silverstone GP this weekend to look forward to. 🏁

Most people working in motorsport understand risk instinctively. You read the track, you read the car, you read the situation. But there's a difference between that kind of experience and actually understanding what your legal exposure is, where your duty of care starts and ends, and what happens when something goes wrong and the question being asked is "who was responsible for managing this?"

That gap is what we built this course to close.

The NEBOSH Verified Essential Risk Management in Motorsport course is the UK's first NEBOSH verified qualification designed exclusively for motorsport, not a generic H&S course with a few racing photos dropped in. It's built around the realities of working in the paddock: the decisions made under pressure, the grey areas that exist between governing body regulations and actual legal duty, and the consistency of communication that can either hold a team together or leave individuals exposed.

If you're a team manager, championship organiser, event operator, contractor, or someone building a career in motorsport, this is for you. Not because it's a box to tick, but because understanding risk at this level makes you better at your job, more credible with stakeholders, and genuinely more protected if things go sideways.

Available as an open course (in-person and online) or as in-house delivery for your team or organisation.

Nearly 80% of IOSH members are male. In 2023 that figure was 78.3%. Five years earlier it was 80.3%. In half a decade, the needle moved by two percent.

Our founder Carla has spent the best part of 25 years working in health and safety, starting in sales and engineering, moving through operations and advisory roles before founding Safety Rocks in 2015. For most of that time she's been one of very few women in the room, and in some environments, the only one.

What she finds genuinely puzzling about that statistic is this: health and safety, when it's done well, is fundamentally about people. Understanding how humans behave under pressure, how culture shapes decisions, how leadership either protects or exposes those around it. Those aren't technical problems. They're human ones. And yet the profession that exists to solve them remains overwhelmingly male.

If you're a woman who's ever considered a career in health and safety or who's already in it and wondering whether there's space to grow, we'd love to hear from you. There's more room than the statistics suggest, and the work is far more interesting than its reputation implies.

What strikes us about that quote is that Peter isn't talking about budget, or resources, or grid position. He's talking about how a team decides to operate and the fact that every team, at every level, gets to make that decision.

It's about whether the people running the operation have genuinely thought about what could go wrong, and built habits around managing it. That culture, or the absence of it, starts at the top. Every time.

The gap between F1 and grassroots isn't just budget. It's that elite teams decided, at some point, to treat risk management as part of how they operate, not a box to tick before the season starts. The good news is that decision isn't reserved for teams with a nine-figure budget.

More on this Thursday, including something that we believe will change how motorsport approaches risk management entirely.

Safety isn't an add-on. This is your race team’s performance advantage.
