Meet our Health & Safety Consultant – Ricky Nelson of Safety Inspectors UK

We work closely with Safety Inspectors UK to ensure our health and safety policies, procedures and on-site practices meet the highest industry standards. Our retained Health & Safety Consultant, Ricky Nelson, brings exceptional expertise shaped by real-life experience. After suffering a serious occupational exposure earlier in his career, Ricky committed himself to improving workplace safety, so others never face similar risks. That personal journey now drives the thorough, people-focused approach he brings to our business.

Through our partnership, Ricky supports Rightbuild with risk assessments, policy development, audits, training, and continuous compliance improvements. His guidance helps us embed practical, site-specific safety measures across every project, from method statements and toolbox talks to supervision and employee training. This ensures our team, contractors and clients are always protected.

By collaborating with Safety Inspectors UK, we don’t just meet our legal duties, we strengthen our safety culture from the ground up. Together, we ensure every Rightbuild project is delivered safely, responsibly and with complete peace of mind.
