HEALTH & SAFETY AUDITS
Health & Safety Audits
It is essential that health and safety audits are undertaken annually to understand your position in relation to achieving health and safety compliance and to identify any immediate hazards posing harm to your employees or the public.
Undertaking these audits will assist you in the development of your health and safety documentation and ensure continual improvement, reducing the risk to your business.
Our Health & Safety Audits include:

Our team of qualified health and safety consultants can carry out full health and safety audits at one, or all of your premises. These audits would cover all of the physical parts of the premises and work activities, as well as a review of your health and safety documentation, including your:
-
Risk assessments
-

We will work with your team to establish current standards of Health & Safety compliance and will summarise our findings in a report and action plan consisting of;
-
Good working practices identified
-
Areas of concerns/improvements
-
Identification and risk-scoring of hazards
-
Actions and improvement plan
-
Assessment of training requirements
3.
Recommendations:
The reports are produced in a user friendly format (no legislative jargon) that detail the observations made and hazards identified, level of risk (high, medium or low) with straight forward and practical recommendations that are necessary to ensure ongoing legal compliance and best practice.
These should be reviewed periodically by both internal and external personnel to ensure changes like business developments, are identified and that progress is maintained.
Under The Health and Safety at Work Act (1974), a company's health and safety policies must be frequently reviewed and assessed. What’s more, all employees must be fully informed of any changes made.
Our experts can help you identify your health and safety issues and write a clear, concise and practical health and safety policy.
