Health and Safety Audits in Leicester

Professional Health and Safety Audits in Leicester

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 Leicester. Choosing a local consultancy means consultants who can visit regularly rather than once a year, which is what actually catches drift.

Most Leicester businesses that ask us for an audit are in one of three situations: a client or insurer has started asking questions, something has gone wrong and they want to know what else might, or they have grown quickly and lost confidence that arrangements written years ago still match the operation.

The value of an external audit is mostly about fresh eyes. Everybody who works in a building every day stops seeing it. Blocked routes, propped fire doors and missing guards become part of the scenery, and it takes somebody from outside to notice them again.

Leicester is the largest city in the East Midlands and its economy is unusually broad. Textiles and garment manufacturing still employ thousands across the north and east of the city, sitting alongside food production, plastics, printing, logistics and a large public sector anchored by two universities and the hospital trust. That mix means a consultant walking into a Leicester business could be looking at industrial sewing machines one day and a commercial kitchen the next.

Business parks and estates we work on

Getting to you

Leicester is about 20 minutes from our Coalville base on the A50 and M1, so we can usually offer a same-week site visit and, for urgent work, often next-day. We cover the city centre and every one of the outlying business parks.

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

• Risk assessments that describe a process the business changed two years ago
• Excellent written arrangements with no evidence anyone follows them
• Contractor control that stops at the signing-in book
• Actions from the last audit still open, with no owner or date

• 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 Leicester and surrounding areas, including:
