Chartered Health & Safety Professional. Founder of Scott Risk Management and SRM Genie.
Liam Scott has over twenty years of practical health and safety experience across construction, manufacturing, engineering, logistics and housing. He founded Scott Risk Management and developed SRM Genie to give organisations the tools and professional support they need to manage compliance properly.
The Story
"Too many businesses were doing the right work but losing control of the evidence. SRM Genie was built to make that evidence easier to manage."
After two decades working with UK businesses, Liam Scott saw the same problems repeatedly: scattered records, overdue actions, hidden gaps and too much time spent chasing evidence.
The organisations that struggled most were not those that didn't care about health and safety. They were the ones without the right tools or professional support to manage it effectively. Spreadsheets were breaking down under the weight of growing workforces. Paper-based systems were creating liability rather than protection. And too many businesses were paying the price — through audit failures, enforcement action, or preventable incidents.
SRM Genie was built to address all of that. Not as a generic software tool, but as a platform designed specifically around the practical realities of health and safety management in UK businesses — by someone who has spent their career in that environment.
The result is software supported by experienced compliance professionals. Clients get software, setup support and guidance from people who understand the legislation and the sectors they work in.

Approach
Liam Scott's approach to health and safety is grounded in a simple belief: compliance should protect people and businesses, not simply create more paperwork.
Too much health and safety management has become focused on producing evidence rather than managing risk. The result is organisations that generate impressive looking paperwork but fail to address the underlying hazards that cause harm. Liam's approach starts with understanding the business — its operations, its people, and its specific risks — and builds compliance systems from that foundation.
SRM Genie reflects this approach. The platform is designed to embed compliance into everyday operations, making it straightforward for teams at all levels to participate. Rather than compliance being an administrative burden managed by one person, it becomes part of how the organisation operates.
That shift — from compliance as paperwork to compliance as practice — is what Liam Scott has been helping UK businesses make for over twenty years. SRM Genie makes it accessible and sustainable for organisations of any size.
Areas of Expertise
The Mission
Too many UK SMEs are managing health and safety reactively — responding to incidents, chasing certificates, and preparing evidence at the last minute. That approach costs time, creates liability, and puts people at risk. The mission behind SRM Genie is straightforward: give every business, regardless of size, the tools and professional support they need to manage compliance proactively, efficiently and with confidence.
