Workplace Health and Safety Audits
Maintaining health and safety in your workplace is vital to protect your staff team and members of the public. It can be a challenging process to manage health and safety, maintaining compliance and consistently delivering the highest standards, but we can take the hassle out of the whole process for you.
Comprehensive Safety Audits
We offer safety audits to highlight the areas in which your practice could be improved, and our auditors can provide a full audit or focus on a specific part or your business or a particular project. A workplace audit can help by identifying your strengths and weaknesses regarding health and safety compliance and practice, facilitating a clear action plan to maximise your potential.
Focus on Compliance and Protection
A Health and Safety Audit will focus on ensuring that every area of your business is compliant with the relevant legislation and that your team are protected both practically and legally. An audit service will be tailored to your organisation and this will often include first aid protocols, fire and emergency plans, risk assessments, working at height policies and chemical management compliance. We know the industry inside out so we can take care of all the details while you save your time and effort for your other priorities, knowing that your health and safety requirements are in hand.
Gap Analysis and Action Planning
We can deliver a gap analysis on your overall safety compliance and we will prioritise ensuring that your legal obligations are met and that your unique action plan complies with relevant legislation.
Comprehensive Health and Safety Programs
We can also offer a comprehensive service that enables us to lead your health and safety programme, training up your management team and employees to ensure that your workplace is fully compliant and as safe as possible. It’s our mission to make sure that health and safety procedures are embedded into your practice at every level.

We use effective data collection to ensure that we can accurately identify trends, improve safety measures, and comply with legal requirements. We collect data on a monthly and annual basis as follows:
Monthly Data Collection:
- Incident Reporting: We gather detailed reports of all accidents, including near misses, minor incidents, and serious accidents.
- Root Cause Analysis: We perform investigations into the causes of accidents to prevent recurrence.
- Injury Type: We categorise accidents by the type of injury (e.g., minor cuts, fractures, sprains, etc.).
- Location: We record where each incident took place (e.g., specific department or site).
- Employee Involvement: We track who was involved, including their job role, and record whether they received proper safety training.
- Corrective Actions: We document actions taken in response to accidents, including immediate responses and long-term preventive measures.
- Time of Accident: We record the time and shift during which the accidents occurred to identify any patterns.
Annual Data Collection:
- Trend Analysis: We compare monthly accident data to identify trends over time (e.g., recurring incidents or increased incidents during certain months).
- Incident Frequency Rate: We calculate the number of accidents per number of employees or per hours worked to assess safety performance.
- Severity Rate: We measure the severity of incidents (e.g., lost workdays due to injuries).
- Compliance Reviews: We evaluate whether incidents comply with reporting requirements for regulatory bodies (e.g., OSHA, HSE).
- Training Effectiveness: We review the effectiveness of safety training programs based on accident data over the year.
- Equipment and Environment Assessments: We carry out analysis of whether certain equipment or work environments contribute to higher accident rates.
- Safety Policy Updates: We use collected data to update safety policies, procedures, and emergency protocols annually.
