HSI, a platform for Environmental, Health, Safety and Quality (EHSQ), compliance, and workforce development, has announced the acquisition of HandsHQ, a UK-based provider of Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) and workforce training solutions.
London-based software company HandsHQ provides a cloud-based platform that simplifies how its customers manage RAMS and workforce training, allowing them to produce documents quickly and without the need for additional technical expertise. Among its 2,000 clients are defence contractors Babcock International, University of Oxford, and Arsenal FC.
This builds upon HSI’s acquisition of Ireland-based leading competency and compliance management provider Skillko in late 2024, which added enhanced supplier and contractor management capabilities to HSI’s robust suite of EHSQ management solutions.
Jose Arcilla, CEO of HSI, said: “As market demand accelerates for risk-informed solutions that connect safety, compliance, and workforce readiness, the acquisition of HandsHQ positions HSI to meet this need at scale. We are strengthening our capabilities to align with evolving market needs and investing in our growth in Europe.
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.”
