M.E.R.T. International

​We provide a health and safety audit, a unique advisory service which is ideal for any organisation that requires an assessment of the current effectiveness of their management of health and safety.  It is a flexible service which can highlight what is going right and any areas requiring enrichment and whether you may be in breach of a specific legal or system requirement. 

 

Advantages of a health and safety audit:

 

• This enables “best practice”

• Reduction in the likelihood of accidents occurring

• Reduction in corresponding insurance claims

• Identifies gaps in systems and training needs

• Helps builds a “safety culture” and “best practice” to be spread throughout the business and consequently resulting in progressive improvement

• It enables the organisation to satisfy itself that the company’s own Health and Safety Policy and associated documents are being implemented properly

• The audit is carried out by one of our Chartered Health and Safety consultants (CMIOSH).

 

This can be done as required by your organisational needs or in addition to your Health and Safety Management Package at a nominal fee.

 

The audit can incorporate the following or, if you wish, it can concentrate on a particular area of health and safety:

 

• assessment of current policies and procedures

• assessment of the effectiveness of the current safety management system

• a review of structure and methods of operation

• a review and survey of the workplace and site operations, internally and externally, to identify hazards, unsafe acts or conditions

• overview of any areas which do not comply with legal requirements

• in-depth analysis of specific areas of risk

• training needs analysis

• further recommendations and an action plan.

 

Detailed Audit report

The findings from the audit are provided in a detailed report and this will offer advice and guidance on actions necessary to enable the company to fully comply with health and safety regulations and best practice.  It is recommended that all businesses are subject to a periodic health and safety audit to ensure that safety management systems are continuously being improved.
