Ocean Technical Safety Services Ltd

With roots in the maritime industry, Ocean Technical Safety Services Ltd provides high-quality technical safety solutions, now focusing on making working at height safer in both marine and built environments. They adhere to the hierarchy of control, prioritising elimination of the need to work at height, followed by fall prevention and then consequence reduction. Following the acquisition of an architectural rigging company, they offer a range of balustrade and wire-based safety solutions to complement their existing fall protection services. They are committed to providing the right solution without compromising on product or service quality, believing that accidents are preventable through good governance, culture, competence, and procedures.

The company specialises in the design, manufacture, and installation of stainless steel wire rigging assemblies, including structural rigging for stabilising freestanding structures, catenary wires for supporting elements like cables or lighting, and museum/display solutions for suspended exhibits. They also offer yacht rigging and guardrail solutions, as well as DIY wire kits and parts. Their expertise extends to fall protection systems, including anchor systems for fall restraint, fall arrest, rope access, and rescue, with proven experience in designing bespoke systems for maritime industries. They offer overhead, vertical, and horizontal lifeline systems, designed to meet stringent British and European specifications.

Ocean Technical Safety Services also provides safety compliance consultancy, auditing, and training. They conduct third-party audits based on existing protocols or customer specifications, delivered by ISO 45001 Lead Auditors. They offer specialist training courses, including fixed ladder inspection and fall protection system design and inspection, tailored to customer requirements. Their services include auditing providers against BS 8681:2024 for competence in fall protection equipment, and they are involved in developing L5 NVQ System Designer qualifications.

They also provide site inspection services and training for fixed ladders, guardrails, and roof-mounted walkways to ensure ongoing safety and compliance.
