FAQs

Common questions about health and safety audits

Do I legally need health and safety policies?

Any employer with five or more employees in Great Britain must have a written health and safety policy under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. Smaller employers still have a duty of care and benefit from the documentation.

What is included in the audit?

Risk assessments, COSHH, manual handling, DSE for desk-based staff, fire precautions and welfare arrangements, reviewed against HSE expectations and your sector.

Will you write the policies for me?

We identify gaps and tell you what is missing or out of date. We can supply policy templates as part of an annual or retained package; one-off audits produce findings rather than redrafted policies.

How long does the audit take?

A small-team office is typically half a day on site; a busy kitchen or care setting closer to a full day. The written report follows within a working week.

Need more than just this?

If you've got two or more on your list, an annual or retained package usually works out cheaper.
