Health and Safety Audit Service
A health and safety audit can ensure that your company has full compliance with all current legislation related to health and safety at work. It is a critical, in-depth examination of an organisation’s health and safety management system. The audit can cover the whole system or particular aspects, such as risk assessment procedures, issue and control of personal protective equipment etc.
The audit is carried out normally on an annual basis and provides an organisation with a clear picture of their performance in terms of health and safety management. As a result, remedial actions can be taken before incidents occur. Safety inspections are a less formal method of investigating the health and safety performance of an organisation, however an audit will highlight all positive and negative aspects of health and safety at the work place.
Our Health & Safety programme aims at providing you with professional health and safety audit services that are available for companies who require an extra set of ‘eyes and ears’. To assist with this process, the programme offers a wide range of consultancy services. We also offer you professional support for specific health and safety projects and other development requirements of your company.
We can help you to:
- Ensure compliance with all relevant legislation.
- Undertake a comprehensive health and safety audit of all departments within your company
- Monitor the application of your health and safety policies and procedures.
- Identify and implement reasonably practicable control measures in order to control workplace risks.
- Check your health and safety procedures for completeness.
- Gain a better understanding of your system.
- Gain a better understanding of your suppliers.
Regular health and safety audits help identify, monitor and eradicate any potential health and safety risks associated with unsuitable equipment and procedures, and the environment associated with the workstation.
An audit of your business and premises carried out under this programme offers a detailed and penetrating approach looking at key areas of your health and safety management. The completed audit is fully documented, with recommendations and proposals to improve on the company position.
