Health & Safety Audit
The audit will commence with an initial visit from a Specialist Safedays Ltd Consultant.
This will involve
- A full review with your senior people of your existing systems and documentation.
- Discussing proposals for delegating responsibilities to other staff members.
- Identifying any special concerns or queries that you or your staff may have, particularly concerning potentially dangerous situations.
Health & Safety Inspection
A thorough premises inspection will follow the audit. This will cover:
- An in depth tour of your premises investigating every aspect of health and safety. This will involve short discussions with staff members in various departments and job functions. Any concerns will be noted and recorded.
- An evaluation of how your health and safety procedures measure up to the legal requirements.
Risk Assessments
Following on from the audit and inspection we will highlight those areas in need of a specific risk assessment and assign priorities to each one. Every aspect of health and safety will be addressed. We offer the following support:
- Train your personnel to carry out these risk assessments
- Advice on conducting COSHH assessments
Management Action Plan
The inspection will allow our Consultant to formulate an Action Plan and to categorise the degree of hazard and to identify control and protection measures that should be introduced. This will be presented to you in written form.
We will prioritise:
- Urgent issues which must be addressed in order to conform to legal requirements.
- Areas that are essentially good working practice and will benefit employee welfare.
- Other beneficial improvements to health and safety policy or procedures.
- Any training deemed necessary will have been identified and will be advised.
Health & Safety Policy Document
This is a critical document that must be completed and be open to inspection.
- A policy statement does not constitute a document
- A policy document is a detailed organisational reference manual in which all of your health and safety procedures are recorded and documented
- A document should cover intent, responsibilities and their application relevant to your organisation
The documented Health sand Safety Policy should consist of three parts:
- A general statement of intent
- This should outline the organisations health and safety philosophy.
- This should list the broad responsibilities of both management and workforce.
- The Organisation (the people and their duties)
- This outlines the chain of command in terms of Health and Safety Management.
- It should state how the policy implementation will be monitored?
- Arrangements (systems and procedures)
This part of the policy deals with the practical arrangements by which the policy will be implemented.
General Documentation
- Accident/incident reporting (RIDDOR)
- Risk assessments
- DSE risk assessments
- Fire log book
- COSHH data sheets
- Managers Health and Safety checklist

Our Consultant will revisit after all audits, risk assessments, and present the report to discuss what further action may be required relating to:
- Control systems and how staff should implement them.
- Training requirements.
- Discuss findings of the risk assessments and remedial action.
- Provide guidance and Action Plan.
- Prioritise elements of Safety Plan and suggested improvements.
