Global HSE Group becomes official member of the Smoke Control Association

Written by marketing@globalhsegroup.com on February 23, 2026. Posted in News, Press.

Nottingham, 23rd February 2026 – Global HSE Group has been confirmed as an official member of the Smoke Control Association (SCA), part of the Federation of Environmental Trade Associations (FETA), reinforcing its technical capability within the specialist smoke control sector.

The SCA promotes and advances standards in the design, manufacture, installation and maintenance of life safety smoke ventilation systems. As regulatory scrutiny increases and buildings become more complex, recognised accreditation is playing an increasingly important role in demonstrating competence and system integrity.

As one of approximately 50 member organisations, Global HSE Group joins a respected network of organisations dedicated to raising industry standards. This membership reflects Global HSE Group’s continued investment in specialist knowledge, compliant system delivery and quality assurance across its smoke control and fire safety services.

Sam Travis-Cavell, Head of Building Environments, commented, “Membership of the SCA recognises the technical capability within our team and underlines our focus on delivering compliant, performance-led smoke control solutions.”

Andrew Cooper, Managing Director, shared, “Being accepted into the Smoke Control Association and recognised within the Federation of Environmental Trade Associations is an important step for us. It reflects the work our team has put into strengthening our smoke control expertise and demonstrates our commitment to maintaining high standards as regulatory expectations continue to evolve.”

Global HSE Group Launches Dedicated Health & Safety Division

Written by marketing@globalhsegroup.com on February 9, 2026. Posted in News, Press.

Global HSE Group, a leading provider of comprehensive fire safety and passive fire protection, has announced the launch of a dedicated Health & Safety (H&S) division. This strategic expansion is designed to offer property investors and managing agents a single-source partner for Health & Safety, Fire, and Water Hygiene.

The new division will be led by Paul Westwick, who joins Global as the Safety, Health, Environment, and Quality (SHEQ) Lead. Paul brings extensive specialist experience in commercial risk management, specifically across high-value portfolios in the built environment. A senior SHEQ executive with 25 years’ group management experience, built on 18 years’ foundational ‘hands-on’ advisory.

Paul Westwick, Head of Health & Safety division at Global HSE Group, commented:

“I am thrilled to lead the health and safety division. For too long, property managers have had to juggle three different consultancies for their core compliance needs. It creates gaps in data and gaps in safety.

Our goal with this new division is to close those gaps. By integrating Fire Risk Assessments, Water Hygiene, and health and safety Auditing into one expert-led service, we are helping them build safer, more valuable assets.”

The launch comes in response to a growing market need for an integrated approach to building safety. With the Building Safety Act 2022 placing tighter regulatory pressure on Accountable Persons, managing health and safety, Fire, and Water (Legionella) in silos has become a significant risk.

Global HSE Group’s new division aims to move away from box-ticking exercises to provide pragmatic, data-led strategies that protect people and assets.

Andrew Cooper, Managing Director of Global HSE Group, commented:

“This launch marks a pivotal step in our growth strategy. Our clients in the commercial and housing sectors have increasingly asked for a partner who can view compliance holistically rather than in isolation.

By bringing Health and Safety and Water Hygiene in-house to sit alongside our established Fire Engineering and Passive Fire divisions, we can now offer a truly integrated safety solution. Paul’s commercial expertise and pragmatic approach make him the perfect leader to drive this division forward and deliver real value to our clients.”

A Full-Service Solution

The new division will provide bespoke support, covering:

Health & Safety: Audits, Policy Management, and ISO 45001 Systems.
Fire Safety: Fire Risk Assessments (FRA) and strategies.
Water Hygiene: Legionella Risk Assessments and Management Systems.

About Global HSE Group: Global HSE Group is an industry leader in comprehensive fire safety, specialising in passive fire protection and technical fire consultancy, as well as delivering sustainability and MEP building services, and accredited passive fire training. Global is dedicated to protecting lives and property with innovative, compliant, and sustainable solutions.
