Your Safety. Our Speciality
Velocity Safety carries out statutory inspections, testing, and servicing for the workplaces that can’t afford mistakes – leisure centres, logistics hubs, manufacturers, fabrication workshops, construction, and high-risk industrial sites.
Our qualified engineers handle the jobs most providers avoid: lifting equipment, fall protection, air quality, face fit testing, RPE inspections, noise, vibration, compressors, fire extinguisher servicing, dust extraction and more. Everything tested, certified, and documented properly – the first time.
If you’re tired of chasing multiple providers, failed audits, or last-minute panic before an insurance visit, you’re in the right place.
Based in Blackburn with Darwen and working nationwide – every inspection carried out by the book, every time.

What Others Say About Us…
From local authorities to leisure centres and logistics sites – here’s what people say after working with us:
“After many issues with the inspectors from our insurer I contacted Ross to quote. He saved us just over £3000 in the first year. He also does weekends for us to reduce downtime.”
Joe, Civils Company Midlands
“After spending £20k purchasing the wrong powered air units for our factory on our previous PPE supplier/H&S advisors recommendations, Ross came in and told us what we needed, why we needed it and what cost savings could be had over the life of the equipment. I just wish we found him sooner.”
David, Engineering Company North West
“Great Service, Great guy nothing is too much trouble.”
John, Groundworks Company North West

Got Questions? You’re Not Alone.
Safety regs can be a minefield. Most businesses don’t know what services they need, when things are due, or what “compliance” even means in practice. That’s where we come in.
Here are some of the questions we get asked the most – no jargon, no judgement, just clear answers.
What services do you actually provide?
Velocity Safety delivers statutory inspections, examinations, tests and servicing across UK workplaces. That includes LOLER, LEV, RPE (Reg 9), Face Fit Testing, Fire Extinguishers, PAT, Noise, Vibration, PSSR (air receivers), Breathing Air Testing and more. If it needs inspecting, testing or certifying – we sort it.
Can you do everything in one visit?
Yes. Multi-service visits are one of the main reasons businesses choose us. We can combine extinguishers, LOLER, RPE, Face Fits, PAT, noise, vibration and more into a single site visit to reduce downtime.
How quickly can you book us in?
Most enquiries are handled the same working day. For urgent safety or insurance issues, we’ll offer the earliest possible window. You’ll always speak directly to an engineer who understands the kit on your site.
Do you remind us when inspections or servicing are due?
Yes. You’ll receive digital certificates, service dates, and reminders before equipment becomes overdue. No spreadsheets. No guesswork.
Are your engineers qualified and accredited?
Yes – our team includes Fit2Fit-accredited testers, BOHS-qualified LEV specialists, and certified RPE/LOLER/PSSR engineers. All test equipment is UKAS-calibrated and traceable.
What regulations and standards do you follow?
We work to UK legislation including LOLER, PUWER, COSHH, PSSR, and the RRFSO. All testing and servicing aligns with HSE guidance and British Standards like BS5306, BS8610, BS EN 12021, BS EN 1822, INDG479 and HSG258.
Are your technicians qualified and accredited?
Yes – our team includes Fit2Fit-accredited face fit testers and certified engineers with BOHS (P601, W501), IPAF, PASMA, NPORS, and City & Guilds 2377 qualifications. All equipment is UKAS-calibrated and traceable.
Do you operate nationwide?
We’re based in Lancashire and work across the North West and UK-wide. Whether you have one site or multiple locations, we can group everything into a single, organised schedule.
What’s the difference between inspections, examinations and tests?
Inspections are visual checks.
- Examinations are legally required deep-dives (e.g. LOLER / PSSR).
- Tests use calibrated equipment to measure critical safety data like air quality, noise or vibration.
If you’re not sure which you need, we’ll point you in the right direction.
How often do I need inspections or servicing?
It depends on the equipment and legislation involved. We’ll walk you through the requirements for your setup and keep you on track with reminders for retests.
What types of fire extinguisher services do you offer?
We cover supply, installation, commissioning, annual servicing, extended servicing, disposal, signage and compliance audits.

Do you offer fire extinguisher servicing in my area?

What types of face fit testing do you provide?
We offer both qualitative (“taste test”) and quantitative testing for tight-fitting respirators (FFP2/FFP3, reusable half masks and full-face masks). For healthcare teams, we provide a dedicated service:
Can you combine Face Fit Testing with RPE inspections or other services?
Yes. Many businesses book Face Fit Testing alongside RPE Reg 9 inspections, fire extinguisher servicing or LEV tests to keep disruption low and ensure everything stays compliant in one visit.
