Health and Safety Assessments

Health and safety management can often seem complex, with a wide range of legal requirements, guidance and best practice standards to consider and adhere to. The key question is not simply whether you have health and safety arrangements in place, but whether they are suitable, proportionate and working effectively for your organisation with your people and premises in mind.

 

What do our Health and Safety Assessments include?

Our Health and Safety Assessment provides an independent review of your workplace and work activities, helping you understand your current level of compliance and identify areas for improvement. Through a combination of documentation review, discussions with those with health and safety responsibilities and a visual inspection, we assess how effectively health and safety is being managed.

Depending on the nature of your organisation/workplace, different legislation may apply. Our assessments consider areas including, but not limited to:

  • Fire safety
  • First aid arrangements
  • Workplace safety and welfare
  • Manual handling
  • Hazardous substances (COSHH)
  • Display screen equipment (DSE)
  • Asbestos management
  • Work at height
  • Electrical safety
  • Lifting equipment
  • Pressure systems
  • Contractor management
  • Employee consultation
  • Accident reporting and investigation (RIDDOR)

Health and safety assessments tailored to your needs

We understand that every organisation is different. Some organisations have dedicated health and safety resource and established management systems, whilst others engage with independent consultancies to support and provide guidance. Our experienced consultants tailor our assessments to your specific organisational risks, work activities and operation requirements.

Following each assessment, we provide a clear and practical report outlining areas of compliance, highlighting good practices and identifying whether further improvements are required. Our recommendations are prioritised according to risk, enabling you to focus resources where they will have the greatest impact.

At Assurity Consulting, our consultants undertake health and safety assessments for organisations across the UK every day. We have decades of collective experience and a practical, solutions focused approach, we help organisations gain confidence in their compliance arrangements and help them achieve continual improvement in health and safety performance.
