About

A consultancy built on one conviction

Safer, better workplaces are built when systems are designed for the people who use them — not the other way around.

Who does the work

Dr Mohammed
Aburumman

PhD in human factors and occupational health & safety. Fifteen-plus years across regulation, research and practice — and the independent perspective that spots what has become invisible from inside. Every engagement is led personally, in the factory and on site.

The arc

Engineer. Researcher. Regulator. Then this.

Most consultancies see a management system from one side. This one has built them, studied them and regulated them — and brings all three perspectives to yours.
