Health & Safety Audits
Annual health and safety audits
Health and safety audits are an important part of keeping your business safe and compliant. They systematically examine what could cause harm to people within your workplace so that you can review existing precautions and, if necessary, put more measures in place to reduce risk.
WorkNest’s Cornwall Health & Safety service includes a programme of General Risk Assessments (health and safety audits) – conducted annually either at your site or remotely – to reduce the potential for accidents and breaches and provide peace of mind.
After your health and safety audit, you’ll receive a clear Action Plan outlining the steps needed to become compliant. You’ll then be able to manage these actions through our simple-to-use software, SafetyNest, and keep an eye on your risk status in real time.
All of this will help you to proactively reduce risk, demonstrate compliance and protect your position should an incident occur.
