Health and Safety Audits

In order to establish an effective health and safety management system, the first and most important step is to carry out a review of the key arrangements and procedures already in place. On appointment an experienced safety consultant will meet with your staff to collect existing documents and records, and agree a procedure for undertaking the initial health and safety audit. From this audit we will prepare a report containing details of:

  • Current health and safety policies, procedures and documentation and assess their compliance with current occupational Health and Safety Regulations
  • The arrangements for implementing the policy
  • Current working environment and accepted work practices
  • Any uncontrolled hazards
  • The adequacy of exiting safety control methods (mechanical and procedural)
  • Accident/incident reporting procedures
  • Compliance with Workplace Health, Safety and Welfare Regulations 1992 (i.e. heating, lighting, work space, sanitary and washing facilities, rest facilities, eating and drinking facilities)
  • Review existing risk assessment procedures, methods of evaluations and documentation
  • Review validity of existing risk assessments dealing with:
    • Display screen equipment
    • Manual handling
    • Control of substances hazardous to health (COSHH)
    • Fire precautions and training
    • First Aid
    • Management of Asbestos
    • Control of Legionella
    • Noise
    • Condition of walk ways and stairs
    • Traffic routes
    • Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulation (PUWER)
    • Work transport
