Safety Auditing

What is Safety Auditing?

Safety auditing is a valuable management technique that is highly recommended by the Health and Safety Executive. An audit will show exactly how you measure up to legal requirements, and whether your performance is up to standard. It will act as a benchmark from which you can form a health and safety plan.

The scope of the audit
Our auditor will examine your own management policies and procedures for securing health, safety and welfare.

This is supported by a tour of inspection that will help identify areas where new policies are needed, and where existing procedures are not working effectively in practice.

The audit will consider the 17 subject areas of health and safety (or as appropriate) described in the model contents list below:
