Health and Safety Audit

Audits and Consultancy in the workplace

Regular health and safety audits are widely recognised as best practice for companies of every type and size. GR Safety Solutions offer much more than just a box ticking exercise or defensive measure, they bring many positive benefits to the business.

Audits enable you to protect employees and customers from harm. But ultimately a accurately conducted audit can also safeguard the very existence of the company.

That’s because a serious health and safety incident and resulting prosecution can bring severe reputational damage and massive financial penalties.

When the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) brings prosecutions for health and safety breaches, they almost invariably cite failures that an audit would have highlighted. This is why we highly recommend you stay on top.

A safety audit is a structured assessment and evaluation of how workplace activities can affect health and safety. It helps organisations to evaluate and optimise their health and safety programs and improve safety management.

Our highly experienced Consultants can assess whether your current safety processes and procedures align with the law; Identify risks in your workplace (as well as the levels of those risks) and Identify weaknesses as the sooner problems are identified and addressed, the better.

G R Safety solutions offers both Safety Inspections and Safety Audits – the difference between the two is what they focus on. Safety inspections focus on the hazards in your work environment, as well as hazard communication. Safety audits, on the other hand, focus on the processes your organisation uses to address these hazards and protect workers.
