Health and Safety Audits for the Workplace

Is it time to request an inspection and audit of your Health and Safety?

Are you confident that you’ve got health and safety covered?

If you can say, without a doubt, that you are confident in the procedures and processes you have in place for your workplace, then for the time being you can be sure that you’re covered.

The optimum phrase in that sentence though was “without a doubt”. If you cannot be certain that you are protecting yourself, your employees and the public, then your business needs a health and safety audit.

Our specialist team can help you understand what you need to implement with our auditing service, get in touch to receive a free initial consultation.

Why Should Your Business Have an Audit

Health and safety laws apply to all businesses and as an employer you are responsible for the health and safety in your business, whether that be in an office, retail establishment, construction site, and so on.

Health and safety laws are not there to be a burden, but are intended to protect all parties. However, this only needs to be proportionate to the size of your business, and the type of activities you undertake.

All businesses are unique, which is why you have to have your own safety systems and procedures. With a health and safety audit from Sureteam, you can ensure you are meeting your specific requirements by law.

In addition, you understand the safety implications for your business from the onset, which will help as your business develops and grows. If changes occur in the business, it will impact whether you require an up-to-date health and safety audit.

What is included in an Audit

Our experienced team of health and safety consultants can be commissioned to undertake a full audit of your health and safety systems.

Our auditing process will help to achieve the following:

• Balance the systems and behavioural aspects of management
• Look at legal compliance
• Treat Health and Safety at work as an integral part of your business
• Implement Health and Safety goals for your organisation

To complete an audit, your dedicated consultant will come to your workplace and review your health and safety management systems with guidance from the key members of your organisation.

Following this review, we will produce a tailored, comprehensive report which details where the gaps are in your Health and Safety and what will be the most cost-effective way to fill these gaps without producing unnecessary paperwork.
