Assessments & Audits
Assessments & Audits
Health and safety assessments and audits are essential for maintaining a safe workplace. Regular risk assessments help identify potential hazards before they become serious problems, while audits check that existing safety measures are effective and compliant with legal standards.
Employers must carry these out consistently to protect staff and visitors, reduce risks, and demonstrate their commitment to a safe working environment. These processes also ensure that health and safety policies are kept up to date and that everyone understands their responsibilities.
We take a holistic approach to Assessments & Audits
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Assessments and Audits
Why are health and safety assessments and audits important?
Assessments and audits help identify risks before they turn into serious issues. They ensure your workplace is safe, legally compliant, and that all safety measures are working effectively. Our Risk Assessments and Health and Safety Audits give you the confidence that your business is protected.
What’s the difference between a risk assessment and an audit?
A risk assessment identifies potential hazards and evaluates how to control them. An audit, on the other hand, reviews your existing health and safety measures to check they’re effective and compliant with legislation. We provide both services to give you a complete picture of your workplace safety.
How often should risk assessments and audits be carried out?
Risk assessments should be reviewed regularly — at least annually or whenever your workplace changes significantly. Audits are typically carried out on a scheduled basis (e.g., yearly or bi-annually) to ensure compliance. Our team can create a tailored schedule to keep your business up to date and fully compliant.
What role do employees play in the assessment and audit process?
Employees are key to workplace safety. They should report hazards, follow safety procedures, and engage with training. Our Health & Safety Policies & Procedures help ensure staff clearly understand their responsibilities and how to contribute to a safer workplace.
