30 years driven by one belief:
no one should be harmed through work
Founded on hard-won experience
Born from a realisation on a North Sea oil rig, Setters was founded by Graham Setter after seeing how even the strongest safety systems could fail in real working conditions.
The issue was not always the procedure itself, but the choices people made in critical moments — especially under pressure. That insight shaped a simple belief: real safety depends on both strong systems and the people who bring them to life.
Founded in 1992, Setters has spent more than 30 years helping high-risk organisations build safer habits, stronger cultures and better decision-making through its +people® Programme.
How we’ve evolved
SETTERS TODAY
Over 30 years, that question led us to develop the +people® Programme – a coaching-based approach that helps people understand the choices they make and how to choose differently.
Because when you’ve actually lived it, you don’t need to guess what works.
This is why our clients don’t just get training or consultancy, they get a co-designed programme that addresses both the systems and the people using them. want us to explain our process? →
We're industrialists not theorists
Our team have managed safety in high-risk operations – offshore platforms, manufacturing plants, construction sites. They’ve been there when the pressure is on, when deadlines clash with procedures, when something goes wrong. We know the real pressures people face because we’ve lived them.
Our trainers, coaches, and consultants bring a grounded, human approach that resonates with people at every level, from the shop floor to the boardroom.
Because experience matters: we don’t just tell people what to do, we show them how it works in the real world.
What makes setters different
We’re not your typical consultants.
Practical behaviour change over theory
Leadership alignment that makes culture stick
Simple structures people actually use on Monday morning
Learning that adapts to local context
Respectful, human conversations that build trust and ownership
We do this through three core areas of work
Safety Culture Development
You’ve reduced incidents, but you
can’t get to zero harm. The gap isn’t your systems, it’s the culture that determines whether people follow them when nobody’s watching. We help you build a culture where safe choices happen naturally, even when the pressure is on.
Safety Training
Nationally recognised safety courses delivered by people who’ve actually worked in high-risk environments. The syllabus doesn’t change – but the 30 years of operational experience our trainers bring into the room does. Training that ticks the box and actually prepares people for the real world.
Safety Consultancy
We don't just teach safety...
We build it into culture.
Safety training with real-world relevance
Built from practical experience and delivered for people working in high-risk environments.
From leaders to frontline teams
Training modules designed for the key levels of the organisation.
Accredited courses, practical outcomes
Helping people work more safely, lead better, and reduce risk in everyday operations.
We meet people where they are and we help them get where they need to be.
Let’s have a conversation
Whether it’s culture change, consultancy support, or training – the first step is a conversation. Tell us what you’re dealing with. We’ll be honest about whether we’re the right fit.
