JM HSE Consulting Audits and Inspections

We help Business to comply with their health and safety obligations

All business owners and employers have health and safety obligations. Given that the specific obligations applicable to you will vary significantly depending on the size and nature of your business, ensuring compliance can appear complicated and convoluted. Our extensive experience within the health and safety industry allows us to simplify the process for you by conducting a range of assessments and audits of your operations and workplace.

Health and Safety Assessments required for all employers

Risk Assessments

All employers need to have a Risk Assessment in place for all of their activities including people homeworking. We can help with these assessments to cover individual work stations as well as the workplace as a whole.

Audits

Workplace audits are a requirement of the ISO standards (insert a link to the ISO section of the Management Systems section). Audits also enable your company to demonstrate that you have put into action the measures outlined in your policies. They also give you a ‘health check’ on your Health and Safety processes to ensure they continue to meet the needs of your business. Demonstrating compliance in a practical way is also an important factor in gaining accreditation with the likes of CHAS (link to the CHAS section), Achilles or ISO standards.

We can carry out a comprehensive health and safety audit of your company to ensure compliance with current legislation and other standards that you have to meet such as ISO, CHAS etc. The audit typically include:

Reviewing your health and safety policy documentation

Risk Assessments

Display Screen Assessments

Fire Risk Assessments

Manual handling

Hazardous substances (COSHH)

(PPE) Personal Protective Equipment

Our auditors are all Lead Auditor qualified which means you can have confidence that you get real value from the quality of audit being carried out. Furthermore, we know that the wording of reports can be extremely important and will ensure that the report meets your requirements.

Workplace Site Inspection

We have a team of highly qualified and experienced professionals who can carry out workplace site safety compliance inspections. These check compliance of the working practices and documentation such as Risk Assessments and Method Statements.

We take an ’arm round the shoulder’ approach to issues fond to help find solutions as opposed to simply stating what is wrong. We have found this to be a better approach gets much better results than old fashioned safety ‘policing’. We use web-based reporting tools to give you real time reporting of our findings as well as providing you with an audit trail to confirm that corrective action has been taken.

Many thanks for your recent assistance with our CHAS renewal and continued work on our health and safety procedures. Your knowledge of the subject and process was invaluable, as was taking over the contact with our assessor.

I am pleased to confirm that James worked with us to develop an ISO 45001 compliant safety management system. He did so with a ‘can do’ and practical approach combining expert professional knowledge with straight forward, jargon-free language. He quickly gained an understanding of the culture of our business and helped us develop a system that fitted well with our activities in the UK as well as the Republic of Ireland.

I have no hesitation in recommending James to any business looking to develop their management systems and particularly those aiming to gain certification to the ISO standards.
