Professional Health and Safety Audits in Loughborough

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

Loughborough businesses often want inspection more than audit. A single annual audit tells you where you stood on one day; a rolling programme of shorter inspections catches the drift that happens between them, and drift is what actually causes incidents.

That is easier to justify when the consultant is fifteen minutes away. Quarterly or even monthly visits are practical here in a way they are not when every visit carries a two-hour round trip.

Local knowledge

Business and Industry in Loughborough

Loughborough combines a major university and its science and enterprise park with a solid base of engineering, electronics and precision manufacturing, plus distribution operations drawn by the M1. The university connection means an unusual number of research, laboratory and spin-out businesses in the town, which brings substances, gases and prototype equipment into the risk picture.

Questions

Health and Safety Audits in Loughborough: Your Questions

Would a rolling inspection programme suit us better than an annual audit?

Often, yes, and the two work best together. The audit checks whether your management system is sound; the inspections check whether it is being followed week to week. Being local means we can do the second properly without the cost becoming disproportionate.

Do you audit laboratory and research areas?

Yes. They need a different approach from a production floor, because the work changes constantly and the people doing it are technically expert but often not safety trained. The focus tends to be on substance control, equipment that nobody certified, and whether local rules keep pace with what is actually being done.

Do you carry out health and safety audits in Loughborough?

Yes, for businesses of all sizes throughout Loughborough 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.
