Documentation review
Policy, arrangements, risk assessments, RAMS, COSHH, permits and site-specific paperwork checked for currency and fit.
Health & Safety
An honest audit of where your compliance actually stands
A review of your systems, records and site practice against what your duties and your clients require — with a prioritised plan for closing the gaps.
A health & safety audit checks the system behind your sites: policy, risk assessments and RAMS, training and card records, plant and lifting records, monitoring arrangements and how consistently they are used. You get a written report with the gaps ranked, and a plan for closing them in a sensible order.
What this includes
Records review
Training and card expiry, inductions, toolbox talks, inspection records, plant and lifting equipment records.
Practice on site
A site visit where relevant, to compare what the system says with what is actually happening.
Prioritised action plan
Findings ranked by risk and by client impact, with owners and realistic timescales rather than a wish list.
Before the client audits you
Client and framework audits rarely fail people on site conditions — they fail them on missing records, out-of-date documents and no evidence of monitoring. Those are all fixable, but only if you find them first.
We run the same review a client would, and tell you plainly which gaps would cost you the work and which are tidy-ups.
Then we help you close it
An audit that ends with a report is only half useful. Most clients ask us to work through the actions afterwards: documents rewritten, records set up, training booked and an inspection programme started.
You can also keep the audit as a standalone piece of work and handle the actions internally — whichever suits you.
FAQs
Common questions
What is the difference between an audit and a site inspection?
An inspection looks at conditions on a site on the day — is the edge protection right, is the scaffold tagged. An audit looks at the system behind it: whether policies, risk assessments, training records, plant records and monitoring arrangements exist, are current, and are actually being followed.
How long does an audit take?
For a small or medium contractor, typically half a day to a day of review plus report writing, depending on how many sites and records are in scope. We confirm the time and cost before starting.
Will an audit help with client questionnaires and PQQs?
Yes — that is one of the most common reasons clients ask for one. An audit surfaces the gaps a pre-qualification questionnaire will expose, so you can close them before you submit rather than fail and re-apply.
What do we receive at the end?
A written report covering what is in place, what is missing or out of date, and a prioritised action plan with recommended owners and timescales. We will walk you through it rather than emailing it and leaving you to interpret it.
Can you help fix what the audit finds?
Yes. Most clients ask us to close the actions afterwards — rewriting documents, setting up records, arranging training and putting an inspection programme in place.
