How Vulcan works

Site evidence first. Report second.

A risk assessment is not a generic checklist. The useful part is understanding what can realistically go wrong at the specific site and whether the existing controls are adequate.

Scope

We establish the premises, activities, dangerous substances, occupancy, existing documents and expected deliverables before confirming the work.

Inspect

The site visit examines physical conditions, processes, behaviours, controls and interfaces. Relevant staff can be consulted to test how arrangements work in practice.

Evaluate

Findings are evaluated against applicable legislation, recognised guidance, risk principles and the agreed scope. Assumptions and limitations are stated.

Report

The report explains findings in plain language, distinguishes significant issues from lower-priority improvements and gives a prioritised action plan.

Close-out

Where agreed, Vulcan can clarify findings, review evidence of completion and help the client understand what is needed to close actions.

Review

Assessments should remain live documents. Reviews are triggered by significant change, new information, incidents or evidence that the assessment may no longer be valid.

Experience & competence

Built around high-risk industry experience.

Vulcan Risk Management is led by a health and safety professional with more than 20 years' experience in high-risk working environments, including COMAH-regulated operations and major construction. That background informs a practical approach to permits, simultaneous operations, contractor control, temporary works interfaces, dangerous substances and fire risk.

Current professional credentials include CertIOSH, SIRM, NVQ Level 6 Occupational Health & Safety, NEBOSH General Certificate and Level 3 DSEAR. NEBOSH Fire Safety studies and assessment have been completed and final certification is pending.

FAQ

Common questions

Where is Vulcan Risk Management based?

Pembrokeshire, Wales. Site work is undertaken across Wales and throughout the UK depending on scope and travel requirements.

Can Vulcan carry out both a fire risk assessment and DSEAR assessment?

Yes, where both disciplines are within the agreed scope and competence. Combining visits can also help ensure that dangerous-substance and fire-safety findings are consistent rather than assessed in isolation.

Does a DSEAR assessment always require hazardous area zoning?

No. Hazardous area classification is required where explosive atmospheres may occur in quantities that require special precautions. The need for classification is established from the substances, release scenarios, ventilation, operating conditions and existing controls.

Does Vulcan provide Martyn’s Law assessments?

Yes. Vulcan provides Martyn’s Law readiness and compliance assessments for organisations that need to understand whether premises or events may fall within the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, what tier may apply, what arrangements are already in place and what actions are needed to improve readiness.

Can Vulcan review existing risk assessments?

Yes. Reviews can focus on whether an existing assessment remains suitable, whether actions have been closed, whether the site or process has changed and whether further specialist assessment is required.

Do you only work in Pembrokeshire?

No. Pembrokeshire is the operating base, but projects are considered across the UK.
