Getting Inspection Ready for 2026 | practical steps to protect your business

Picture this. You start your morning as usual and an HSE Inspector walks through the door unannounced.

Would your systems, records and team demonstrate clear compliance? Or would gaps quickly come to light?

HSE inspections rarely come with warning. Yet many organisations only uncover weaknesses when it’s already too late. In fact, research suggests 68% of UK employers are likely to fail on-the-spot HSE inspections – not because they don’t care, but because inspection readiness is treated as a one-off exercise rather than an everyday discipline.  

In this practical, insight-led webinar, former HSE Inspector and WorkNest’s Director of Health and Safety Services, Nick Wilson, joins Head of Fire Safety, Jeff Watkins, to explain how HSEQ professionals can confidently demonstrate compliance under scrutiny, reduce the risk of enforcement action, and embed inspection readiness into everyday operations – not just inspection day.
