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.

Local knowledge

Business and Industry in Derby

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.

Questions

Health and Safety Audits in Derby: Your Questions

Can you carry out a mock audit before our customer assessment?

Yes, and it is one of the more useful things we do in Derby. We work to the standard your customer will apply, report what they would find, and help you close the gaps beforehand. It is far less costly than failing an assessment and having to resubmit.

Do you audit machinery and processes as well as paperwork?

Yes. A documentation-only audit misses the point in a manufacturing environment. We look at guarding and interlocks on the machines themselves, isolation practice during setting and maintenance, extraction actually capturing at the point it needs to, and how the work is really done rather than how the procedure says it is done.

Do you carry out health and safety audits in Derby?

Yes, for businesses of all sizes throughout Derby and the surrounding area. We can audit a single site or run a rolling programme across several, using the same format each time so results are comparable.

What is the difference between an audit and an inspection?

An inspection looks at conditions: what is happening on site today, whether guards are in place, routes are clear and equipment is in good order. An audit looks at the management system behind those conditions: whether your arrangements are adequate, being followed, and actually producing the results they should. Most businesses benefit from both, at different frequencies.
