HEALTH AND SAFETY AUDITING

As a requirement of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations. Employers are required to make suitable health and safety arrangements that reflect the magnitude of the work carried out by the company, effectively planning, organising, controlling, monitoring and reviewing all health and safety matters.

NewStart 2001 safety consultants can assist on your compliance by undertaking a full survey of your safety management systems, and issuing a full written report of recommendations for improvement.

NewStart 2001 consultants will arrange to visit your company to carry out an initial status audit to identify and analyse key strategic elements within the organisation. The information gained from the audit will then be used to measure existing performance against best practice and legislative standards.

In order to establish an effective health and safety management system, the first and most important step is to carry out a review of the key arrangements and procedures already in place. This is known as the status audit, this will identify the following:

  • Where the organisation is now?
  • What needs to be done?
  • What is actually relevant to the organisation?

The main elements of an effective health and safety management system:

  • Policy
  • Organising
  • Auditing
  • Planning and Implementing
  • Measure Performance
  • Review Performance

A written report will be issued on completion of the audit outlining recommendations and suggested corrective actions.
