Why Have a Health and Safety Audit?
We will tell you the whole picture of health and safety compliance as well as where your key risks are. It will consider how robust your systems are in practice, whether your documentation is sufficiently robust to defend civil/criminal liability and whether the practices and behaviors of your teams match your own policies. As we cover the A-Z of Health & Safety topics relevant to your organization, you will know the whole story. It will give you assurance that you’ve identified your key compliance and risk requirements and tell you where there are gaps.
Our audits go further than this by identifying which of your processes and policies are working in practice and which are not. By highlighting your strengths and weaknesses, a safety audit gives you strategic direction to plan additional resources , decide on actions you need to take, and prioritize accordingly. Our action plan enables you to develop your own timeframes and priorities, and to consider if/where measures can be integrated into processes that already exist. This is a key driver in developing your safety culture and can save you time, effort and cost in the longer term.
