How it works

Our Process

  1. 1

    Scope Agreement

    We discuss your objectives for the audit - whether you need a comprehensive review or want to focus on specific areas. We agree the scope, timing, and what access we will need.

  2. 2

    Document Review

    We review your health and safety documentation including policies, risk assessments, procedures, and records. This can often be done before the site visit to make best use of on-site time.

  3. 3

    Site Inspection

    We conduct a thorough inspection of your workplace, observing work practices, checking conditions, and verifying that documented procedures are being followed in practice.

  4. 4

    Staff Interviews

    We speak with managers and employees at all levels to understand how health and safety works in practice. This helps identify gaps between policy and reality.

  5. 5

    Report & Recommendations

    We prepare a detailed report with our findings, highlighting areas of good practice as well as gaps. Recommendations are prioritised by risk so you know what to tackle first.

Questions

Auditing & Inspections: Your Questions Answered

How often should we have a health and safety audit?

This depends on your organisation size, risk profile, and sector requirements. Annual audits are common, but high-risk industries or those with accreditation requirements may need more frequent assessment. We can advise on an appropriate frequency for your circumstances.

What is the difference between an audit and an inspection?

An audit is a systematic examination of your health and safety management system - policies, procedures, and their implementation. An inspection is a physical examination of the workplace to identify hazards and verify that controls are in place. Both are valuable and complementary.

Will an audit be disruptive to our operations?

We work around your operational requirements and aim to minimise disruption. Document reviews can often be done off-site, and workplace observations are conducted without interrupting work unless safety concerns require immediate action.

What is HSG65?

HSG65 is the HSE's guidance document "Managing for Health and Safety". It provides a framework for effective health and safety management based on Plan-Do-Check-Act. We use this as a benchmark for assessing your management system.
