Health and Safety Audit

A Health and Safety Audit provides an independent review of your organisation’s health and safety arrangements. It looks at key areas such as policies, risk assessments, training, workplace conditions and how safety procedures are followed in practice.

The audit helps identify what is being managed well and where improvements are needed, giving you clear, practical recommendations to strengthen compliance and reduce risk.

A health and safety audit helps make sure that responsibility is understood, managed and put into practice across your business.

Step 1: Scope & Review

We start by agreeing the scope of the audit, what areas need to be covered and a suitable date for the visit. Where useful, we may ask for key documents in advance so we can prepare before attending site.

Benefits of a Health and Safety Audit

Clear View of Compliance

A health and safety audit helps you understand how well your current arrangements meet legal duties, guidance and good practice.

Identifying Gaps Early

The audit can highlight missing documents, weak procedures, poor controls or unsafe practices before they lead to bigger problems.

Safer Working Practices

By looking at how work is actually carried out, an audit helps identify practical improvements that can reduce risk to staff, visitors, contractors and others affected by the work.

Better Management Control

An audit gives managers a clearer picture of what is being managed well and where more attention is needed. This can include training, risk assessments, inspections, maintenance, accident reporting and contractor control.

Practical Action Plan

The findings are set out in a clear report with sensible priorities, so you know what needs doing first and what can be managed as part of ongoing improvement.

Evidence and Due Diligence

A well-recorded audit helps show that health and safety is being taken seriously, especially if clients, insurers or regulators ask how risks are being managed.

If your business holds one ISO certification or you're considering certification for the first time, you've probably come across the idea of an integrated management system (IMS).
