HSI has acquired HandsHQ, a London-based software company that provides risk assessment and training compliance solutions.
HandsHQ’s cloud-based platform is used by around 2,000 clients, including Babcock International, University of Oxford, and Arsenal FC.
The software simplifies the process for customers to manage risk assessments and workforce training documents, without needing extra technical expertise.
The company said the HandsHQ deal strengthens its ability to deliver risk and workforce management software to a wider customer base.

“We are strengthening our capabilities to align with evolving market needs and investing in our growth in Europe to become the market leader.
“HSI has a strong track record of delivering measurable value through innovative risk management and workforce compliance tools for employees and contractors.”
Jamie Carruthers, CEO of HandsHQ, said: “This is exciting news for HandsHQ customers, who will now benefit from a broader range of EHSQ and workforce management solutions, all under one umbrella.
“The combined expertise of HSI and HandsHQ means our customers will have access to the best-in-class technology and industry-leading practices.
“We share HSI’s vision for safer, smarter workplaces. Importantly, this partnership reflects a strategic commitment to their continued investment in the UK and driving further expansion across Europe, creating new opportunities for our customers, partners, and team.”
