Auditing & Monitoring
Fresh eyes looking at workplaces often spot the hazards that those working in that environment just don’t see. It really can be a question of not seeing the woods for the trees.
Sentient can provide you with those extra pair of eyes but without the following up with enforcement action. Our most beneficial work is done when our clients wants us to check them out “warts and all”.
Most businesses take their health & safety responsibilities very seriously and you are probably one of them. Like many employers though, you might find it is not always easy to keep up to speed with all the new H&S regulatory requirements or indeed keep track of how you as a business stack up against them.
You may have good health & safety systems in place and manage them yourself, maybe with a permanent health & safety officer or a member of staff allocated to look after health & safety. Some of you will employ consultants in varying capacities. BUT
- In practice are you doing enough?
- Have you covered all aspects?
- Do the actions at the sharp end implement your stated requirements?
- Would you stand up to a detailed investigation by a health & safety inspector?
- Can you answer YES to all these questions?
Business have responsibilities for health & safety set down in law. These include:
- Having a written health & safety policy to include detailed responsibilities for staff throughout the organisation
- Assessing risks to employees, visitors and others who may be affected by your activities
- Planning, organising, controlling, monitoring and reviewing preventative and protective measures
- Having access to competent health & safety advice
- Consulting with employees
As a Director or Senior Manager how do you satisfy yourself that your business or organisation is fully compliant?
To assist you in answering these queries Sentient offer help by carrying out and independent audit of your health & safety management system
Independent Health & Safety Audit
What will you get?
- A report giving you a rating as to how well you currently perform with regard to safety management
- Identification of areas where you are doing well and areas where improvement is needed
- An action plan setting down steps to be taken to make improvements
The audit is an appraisal of how you manage health & safety in your business or organisation, the steps taken to control risks identified by you and how, as an organisation, you monitor implementation of your policies. It is not an inspection of your premises or a detailed examination of all your risk assessments and procedures.
Our Audits can be carried out as a one off task or as part of a wider ongoing service provision tailored to suit your needs and budget.
