Audit your H&S practices and safety management systems
If you don’t have an in-house safety guru, there’s a good chance you could be breaching the stringent H&S rules and regulations in place. When conducting a safety audit of your business, our experts will review your business’s existing H&S management system, uncover any hidden risks, and advise you on how to quickly rectify them before they become problems.
The more you know, the better off you’ll be
There’s no grey area when it comes to compliance, and business owners and employers must ensure they’re on top of theirs. And that’s where having experts who specialise in H&S compliance can make all the difference. On top of assessing your health and safety practices and processes, and any safety programs you have in place, our H&S Audit aims to educate you on current workplace health and safety laws, any upcoming changes to legislation, and compliance.
You can’t put a price on H&S compliance
Save money and reclaim valuable time
Managing your health and safety compliance day in and day out might seem simple enough but ensuring that you’re getting it right every time can take up a considerable amount of your valuable time. When you have enhanced health and safety management systems in place, everything else just falls into place: saving you time and money, boosting efficiency and productivity, and helping you ensure the safety of your people better than ever. A comprehensive safety management system audit of your health and safety practices not only identifies risks but also highlights areas of improvement and ensures you’re on the right side of the law – and your people!
Protect yourself from the risk of severe penalties and consequences

The criteria of an H&S Audit are the standards that are business must meet when its processes, procedures, and practices are reviewed by either an internal or external auditor. A H&S Audit primarily looks over a business’s safety practices and involves a comprehensive review of safety documentation, safety management systems, and H&S compliance.
