Welcome to SHAKO Site Management Services Ltd

At SHAKO Site Management Services Ltd, we are dedicated to promoting the importance of Site Supervisors reviewing their work area, identifying the hazards, and ensuring control measures are in place to eliminate or reduce the risk of those hazards occurring and communicating this information to the operatives that they are supervising.

The use of our free-to-use app shako.org.uk not only shows that Site Supervisors are reviewing their work area, it also educates site operatives over time to understand how their actions and inactions can create hazards, and the control measures that need to be in place to eliminate or reduce the risk of those hazards occurring.

We are trying to get everybody in the workplace to be consciously aware of the hazards around them and take proactive action.

Keynote Talks That Change the Way People Think About Safety

With 45 years in construction, I deliver powerful, customised talks packed with real-world experience, industry insight and unforgettable stories, including my own life-changing accident.

I speak to senior leaders, managers, supervisors and operatives on stand-down days, as well as apprentices and students in colleges and universities studying project management, quantity surveying, construction management, civil engineering, architecture and other built-environment degrees.

Whether you require a hard-hitting emotional wake-up call, an educational deep-dive, or a blend of both, every talk is tailored to your audience and the impact you want to make.
