Site Audits & Inspections

Management Safety Audits

This involves a visit by one of our consultants to client premises to evaluate how your organisation is structured, with regard to:

• Management of health and safety.
• Suitability of the health and safety policy and other written procedures.
• Roles and responsibilities of managers and non-supervisory staff.
• Procedures for accident/incident investigation and remedial actions to prevent recurrence.
• Management of occupational ill-health and how health and safety performance is monitored by senior management.
• Following the inspection, a comprehensive report containing specific details for remedial action will be submitted to the client.

Workplace Inspections

This consists of one of our consultants visiting the client’s premises as a one-off exercise or at agreed intervals in order to carry out workplace inspections in conjunction with the relevant management. A detailed report is issued to the site management team. During such visits, time is devoted to discussing future operations and assisting with the planning of these so that hazards can be anticipated and, where possible, avoided.

Construction Site Inspections

This consists of arranged visits to construction and refurbishment sites, typically at monthly intervals or as agreed with the client, to assess compliance with relevant legislation, particularly CDM Regulations and other regulations such as Work at Height, PUWER, LOLER, Asbestos, COSHH etc. A detailed report is issued to the site management team following the visit. Future visits assess whether recommended actions from the previous visits have been implemented and whether risks from new activities at the time of the visit are being adequately controlled.

Office Inspections

This consists of a visit to client’s offices, typically at 12 monthly intervals, to assess whether risks arising from typically low-risk activities are being suitably controlled. The inspections will look at DSE assessments, fire risk assessments, ergonomics, lighting, heating, ventilation and workplace welfare. Other issues that may be looked into include safe storage of materials, low level work at height, manual handling, stress, electrical safety and emergency procedures. A detailed report is issued to the office management team following the visit.
