Health and Safety Audits in Derby

Professional Health and Safety Audits in Derby

An audit tells you what is actually happening, as opposed to what your policies say should happen. We carry out independent health and safety audits and inspections that give you a clear, evidence-based picture of where you stand, with findings ranked so you know what to deal with first.

Based in Coalville, Leicestershire, Integral Safety is ideally positioned to serve businesses in Derby. Choosing a local consultancy means consultants who can visit regularly rather than once a year, which is what actually catches drift.

A large proportion of our Derby audit work is preparation for somebody else's audit. Tier one manufacturers assess their supply chain thoroughly, and the assessment is specific: they want to see PUWER assessments for named machines, LEV test records, exposure calculations, and evidence that findings get closed out.

Going through that as a rehearsal, with someone who will point out the gaps bluntly, is considerably cheaper than discovering them during the real thing. It also tends to surface genuine risks rather than just documentation gaps, which is the point.

Derby is one of the country's leading centres for advanced manufacturing and engineering, with aerospace, rail and automotive at its core and a deep supply chain of specialist SMEs feeding them. That supply chain is where most of our Derby work sits: precision engineering, fabrication, surface treatment and assembly firms who face higher-hazard processes and demanding customer audits.

Getting to you

Derby is about 30 minutes from Coalville up the A38 or A50. We regularly work along the Ascot Drive and Raynesway corridor and out to Pride Park and Sinfin.

Recurring issues we come across doing this work locally. If any of these sound familiar, they are all fixable.

• PUWER assessments covering some machines but not the older ones nobody wants to look at
• LEV test certificates present but no evidence the system still suits the process
• Permit-to-work systems used for contractors but not for in-house maintenance
• Findings closed out on paper without anyone verifying the fix

• Find problems before an inspector or an incident does
• An independent view, not the one everybody has stopped noticing
• Clear priorities rather than an undifferentiated list
• Evidence of due diligence for insurers and clients
• Track improvement over time with a consistent format
• Prepare properly for accreditation assessments

We provide health and safety audits throughout Derby and surrounding areas, including:
