A Health and Safety Audit enables your company to find out what you are doing wrong and whether you may be in breach of a specific legal or system requirement. Lord Cullen said in his report “Monitoring and auditing the safety process is a critical activity to ensure that any safety programme is being followed”.
 Our comprehensive Health and Safety Audit involves an initial critical evaluation of a company's existing system for managing Health & Safety. We review the structure and methods of operation and survey the workplace to identify hazards, unsafe acts or conditions and non-compliance with Regulations. We prepare a confidential report on the findings with advice and guidance on actions to be taken to bring the company up to speed to fully comply with Health & Safety Regulations and good industry practise.
Risk Assessment: Every company is under a statutory duty to carry out an assessment of risks present in its workplace. If your company employs five people or more, the risk assessment must be in writing. Legislation requires that the assessment be carried out by a "competent person" and examine the entire company’s activities to identify any hazards involved, the likelihood of those hazards causing harm and the steps required to eliminate or minimise the risks.
The risk assessment should be reviewed periodically and whenever there are significant changes in the workplace. Our qualified safety practitioner will visit your premises and carry out a risk assessment study on your behalf.
Health and Safety Policy: A written Health and Safety Policy is a legal requirement if a company employs 5 or more employees. The elements of a Health and Safety Policy are:
- Statement of Intent
- The Organisation
- The Arrangements
Our qualified safety practitioner will visit your premises and draft a Health & Safety policy on your behalf.
The policy document will specify your strategy for achieving compliance and best practice.
We also carry out an annual review and revision so that you can be sure that it will always be up to date with legislation and your current working practices.
