ABOUT

Workplace Health and
Safety in Mexico

The framework is built on the Federal Labour Law and the Official Mexican Standards (Normas Oficiales Mexicanas, NOMs) issued by the Secretariat of Labour and Social Welfare (STPS). Key points for any business:

NOM compliance

Employers must comply with the applicable NOMs for their activity, covering safety, health, and organisational factors.

NOM-035 psychosocial

NOM-035 requires employers to identify and prevent psychosocial risk factors, directly relevant to office and corporate employers.

Safety and hygiene commission

Employers must establish a joint safety and hygiene commission (comision de seguridad e higiene).

Risk assessment

Hazards must be identified and controlled, with documented arrangements.

Records

Documented arrangements and records are expected.

Arinite supports businesses in Mexico, with particular strength for international and UK groups whose Mexican operations must meet the NOMs while staying consistent with a single group compliance system. We work with locally qualified practitioners. A Spanish-language version of this page is recommended for local lead generation.

OUR PROVEN SYSTEM

How Arinite's Health and Safety Consultants
Transform Your Compliance

From Reactive Firefighting to Proactive Health & Safety Compliance

STAGE 1

REACTIVE(Where 60% of Businesses Operate)

No formal HSE systems in place. Everything is reactive, waiting for something to go wrong. Documentation is missing or outdated.

Why It's Dangerous:

✗£50K-£150K average fine when (not if) HSE inspects
✗Can't bid on contracts requiring HSE certification
✗One accident away from director prosecution

This isn't just "non-compliant." It's criminally negligent. Directors face personal prosecution.

STAGE 2

COMPLIANCE(Where Most Businesses Stop)

Basic HSE documentation is in place. Minimum legal requirements met. You can pass a basic audit.

Why It's Better (But Not Enough):

✓Legal protection (no fines if inspected)
✓Can bid on contracts requiring certification
✓Pass basic client audits
✗Still reactive (problems arise, then you respond)
✗Compliance maintained by one person (bottleneck)
✗Systems don't run themselves

Compliance is where most consultants get you, then leave. You're legal, but you're not optimised.

STAGE 3

PROACTIVE(Where Arinite Clients Operate)

Systems run proactively, preventing problems before they occur. Compliance is distributed, not dependent on one person.

Why It's Transformational:

✓Win more contracts (HSE certification opens doors)
✓Save 20+ hours/week (systems run themselves)
✓Peace of mind (sleep soundly, without the fear of prosecution)
✓Focus on your core business while we handle compliance

That's why 95%+ of clients renew year after year.

The Arinite Difference:

Other Consultants

Get you to Stage 2 (Compliant) and disappear.

Arinite

Gets you to Stage 3 (Proactive) and keeps you there.

That's why we call it transformation, not just compliance.

CONSULTANTS + SOFTWARE

Where Health and Safety Consultants
Meet Compliance Software.
Globally.

Health & Safety Consultants+H&S Software+Arinite AI

Consultants+H&S Software+Arinite AI

Compliance

Traditional consultancies audit, report and leave. You get a document and the job of implementing it.

Control

Software companies give you dashboards and workflows without the knowledge to use them.

Coverage

Global businesses need consultants who know compliance in every jurisdiction.

Arinite

We are not a consultancy that adds external software. We are not a software company that recommends consultants.

We are the place where those two things finally become one.

My Name Is Brendan Tuite.

I have been in the health and safety business for 35+ years. In that time, I have had one consistent experience across every sector and every country I have worked in.

Every business we speak to already knows, somewhere, that their workplace health and safety compliance has not kept pace with their growth. It is not ignorance. It is business. It is the assumption that because nothing has gone wrong yet, the gaps are probably manageable.

What stops most businesses from doing something about it is not the cost of outsourcing health and safety support. It is the fear of finding out how significant the gaps are.

The Free Gap Analysis Call exists for exactly that moment.

You get the full picture of your workplace health and safety position in 30 minutes.

“In 35+ years, I have not once had someone tell us they wished they had stayed in the dark.”
