Site Inspections & Audits

Site inspections and audits provide a structured, independent review of how effectively safety, fire, and security standards are being applied within your organisation. They help senior leaders and responsible persons understand real-world compliance, identify emerging risks, and ensure their systems and controls are functioning as intended. By examining both behaviours and physical conditions, inspections give an accurate picture of day-to-day operations and highlight where attention, investment, or corrective action may be required.

We offer a wide range of inspections and audits tailored to your environment, including:

Health & Safety Inspections

Routine workplace checks focusing on hazards, unsafe conditions, work practices, and regulatory compliance.

Fire Safety Audits

Detailed reviews of fire management arrangements, fire doors, escape routes, detection/alarm systems, signage, and PAS 79 compliance.

Security & Physical Protection Audits

Assessments of access control, CCTV, lighting, perimeter integrity, and overall site vulnerability.

Operational Compliance Audits

Reviews of existing policies, procedures, training records, and safety management system performance.

Housekeeping & Workplace Standards Inspections

Checks that support safe behaviours, clean environments, and efficient operations.

Risk-Based Targeted Audits

focused assessments on specific risks such as lone working, hazardous materials, manual handling, plant and equipment, or contractor activities.

Regular inspections are essential because risks can change quickly — equipment wears, behaviours drift over time, and workplace conditions evolve. Audits provide assurance that controls remain effective, legal duties are being met, and any gaps are identified before they lead to incidents, enforcement action, or operational disruption. They also demonstrate due diligence, providing documented evidence that responsible persons are actively monitoring safety and compliance obligations.

The benefits of robust inspections and audits include improved safety performance, reduced incidents, clearer accountability, and stronger compliance with UK legislation and industry standards. Leadership teams gain reliable information to support decision-making, staff become more engaged in safe working practices, and the organisation builds a culture of continuous improvement. Ultimately, inspections and audits help create a safer, more resilient, and more efficient workplace.
