THE HEALTH AND SAFETY SYSTEM AUDIT FOR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL OPERATIONS - The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and its associated regulations lay down stringent safety standards in manufacturing, wholesale, retail and service operations. Failure to comply with the legislation could have serious implications for management and business including the imposition of high financial penalties.

The Inspection Services International team, one of Europe's leading independent Health & Safety Inspectorates have devised SAFETYCHEK, an annual comprehensive and cost effective support programme directed towards ensuring that you can confidently meet these requirements.

HOW DOES THE SAFETYCHEK AUDIT WORK?
The SAFETYCHEK audit consists of:

• An agreed number of in-depth on-site inspections of the premises, which are made annually to assess legal compliance. The inspection covers all major areas of Health & Safety. Points are itemised in a confidential, prioritised typewritten report, which is produced and forwarded after the inspection. The inspection includes a comprehensive de-brief with management at its conclusion.
• Health & Safety reviews, which also enable our consultants to prepare, amend or update Health & Safety policies, manuals and procedures, as well as risk assessment - both generic and specific.
• A free confidential Reportline Advisory Service linking you to our team of Environmental Health Officers and Safety Advisors throughout the UK. These specialists will be pleased to advise you on any aspects of legislation, EHO visits, training, COSHH and Safety Committees.
