The Frog in the Pot: When Growth Outpaces Safety Thinking Success can be a dangerous thing. Not because it’s unwelcome—but because it’s comfortable. And comfort, in the world of health and safety, is often the first sign of trouble. We’ve seen it time and again: a business grows, an event expands, the reputation builds… but the health and safety thinking stays stuck in year one. A dusty policy. A generic risk assessment. A folder that hasn’t been opened since the last insurance renewal. Everything looks fine until someone asks to see the evidence. And suddenly, the frog realises the water’s been boiling for a while.
A look at the ethics of subcontracting in specialist consultancy The Hidden Hand Behind the Work In consultancy, not everything is as it seems. Contracts are won, deliverables issued, and clients receive expert advice but sometimes, the person doing the work isn’t the one whose name is on the report. This is the reality of white labelling: a practice where one firm delivers services under the brand of another. It’s common, often commercially efficient, and in some sectors, entirely uncontroversial. But in specialist consultancy where judgment, ethics, and accountability are central it raises deeper questions. At Hendersons Health & Safety, we’ve reflected on what it means to be the invisible expert, and whether that invisibility serves the client, the profession, or the principle. This blog explores the strategic, ethical, and personal dimensions of white labelling in consultancy — and why, for us, visibility matters.
