Meet the Team: Kevin Prior our new Compliance Manager
We’re proud to announce that Kevin Prior has officially joined Think Access Group Ltd as our new Safety and Compliance Manager, bringing with him extensive experience in industrial health and safety, risk management, and emergency planning.
As a nationwide provider of rope access, height safety, and facilities management services, Think Access Group continues to expand its commitment to best-in-class safety leadership. Kevin’s arrival strengthens our team at a pivotal time — as we take on larger, more complex projects across the UK under the banner of an IRATA member company.
Expert in High-Risk Industrial Safety
Based in Scunthorpe, Kevin joins Think Access Group with a distinguished background in industrial safety. At British Steel, he led health and safety operations across eight COMAH-regulated facilities and the Immingham Bulk Terminal. His role included:
- Designing and implementing safety management systems
- Delivering high-impact training programs
- Conducting site audits and incident investigations
- Developing emergency response plans
- Managing safety performance data across large-scale operations
Kevin is known for his proactive leadership style and for driving measurable safety improvements across high-risk sites — from steelworks and cranes to ports and chemical-handling facilities.
Results That Speak for Themselves
Kevin has delivered outstanding results through his data-driven, people-first approach to safety management. Highlights of his impact include:
- 26% increase in near-miss reporting following a complete redesign of risk assessment training
- 18% reduction in workplace injuries through stronger safe systems of work
- 35% faster rescue response times through improved emergency procedures
- 50% reduction in HSE action close-out times via revamped audit workflows
He also personally developed a new Level 3 Risk Assessment training course that became mandatory for over 300 site employees and contractors — replacing a legacy system and significantly improving safety engagement across departments.
Supporting an IRATA-Certified Rope Access Group
As a key part of Think Access Group’s senior leadership team, Kevin will help guide safety compliance, system reviews, and regulatory oversight across all our operations — including:
- Think Access Ltd (rope access, confined space, industrial services)
- Think Worksafe Ltd (height safety systems and testing)
- Think 360 Services Ltd (facilities management and technical services)
Our team includes IRATA-certified rope access technicians, and Kevin’s role will include oversight of all safety procedures related to rope access operations — including fall protection systems, rescue readiness, and compliance testing.
As an IRATA member company, Think Access Group adheres to the highest global standards in rope access safety. Kevin will play a vital role in ensuring all work carried out at height, on rope, or in confined space meets these standards with zero compromise.
Safety Leadership Across All Divisions
In his new role as Safety and Compliance Manager, Kevin will focus on:
- Reviewing and enhancing site-specific RAMS (Risk Assessments & Method Statements)
- Leading toolbox talks, inductions, and on-site safety briefings
- Developing and enforcing audit schedules and testing regimes
- Supporting ongoing training and upskilling for all operatives
- Advising on complex or high-risk activities across multiple sectors
He will also be involved in helping clients meet their own legal and compliance requirements — including LOLER, PUWER, Work at Height Regulations 2005, and British Standards for access and fall protection systems.
Driving Safety Culture with Technology
One of Kevin’s greatest strengths is his ability to combine traditional safety principles with digital tools. As part of Think Access Group, he will help expand our use of Get Konnected — the company’s mobile-first management platform.
With Get Konnected, Kevin can:
- Monitor safety performance and training compliance in real-time
- Log inspection results and photographic evidence instantly
- Coordinate actions across field teams and office staff
- Track site-specific audit and testing schedules
- Issue digital certification and compliance reports
This powerful platform helps bridge the gap between field operations and back-office compliance — enabling smarter, faster decision-making and keeping projects fully aligned with IRATA safety protocols.
Welcome to the Team, Kevin
Kevin is already making an impact across our Scunthorpe HQ and wider operations, bringing energy, experience, and a fresh perspective to our safety-first culture.
His technical knowledge, leadership experience, and hands-on attitude make him a perfect fit for our mission — to deliver safe, compliant, and cost-effective solutions in rope access, facilities management, and height safety.
Please join us in welcoming Kevin to the Think Access Group family. We look forward to the journey ahead — and to raising safety standards even higher.

We asked Kevin…
What’s your party trick?
“Epic, ridiculous, spontaneous but questionable dance moves”
When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
“A Rockstar!”
What should we buy you at the bar?
“A rum and coke — it’s my go-to drink. Simple, classic, and always hits the spot.”
What’s something—big or small—that you’re really bad at?
“I’ve got a green thumb in the garden — outside, everything thrives under my care. But bring a plant indoors, and it’s a botanical disaster. I somehow manage to either drown them with love or forget they exist entirely. Indoor plants fear me!”
