Review of visible workplace conditions, housekeeping, access, signage, equipment controls and general safety arrangements.
Safety Documentation
Review of safety files, policies, procedures, appointment letters, registers, inspection records and supporting evidence.

Not Sure Which Audit Applies?
Most audit requests fall into one of three categories. Pick the closest match to see what it covers — if you are still unsure, send us the requirement and we will advise.
Send Us the RequirementBaseline audit
A first full assessment of the workplace and its health and safety documentation to establish where the business currently stands. The report gives a prioritised gap list rather than a pass or fail.
You have no recent audit, a new site, or a new management team taking over safety.
Findings Compiled Page by Page, Then a Register You Can Work From.
The audit is written up as a full report — scope, checklist scores, an executive summary and photographic evidence. The non-conformances are then lifted into a register that sits on top of it, so the site has a single working list to close out.
Audit scope, site details, checklist scores per section and an executive summary.
Photographs taken on site, numbered against the findings they support.
Each non-conformance logged with its element reference, NCR number and risk rating.
Critical, high and low items separated so the site knows what to fix first.
A Simple Process With Clear Reporting
Our audit process is practical and direct. We confirm the scope, assess the site and documents, issue a report and provide clear actions for close-out.
Scope and cost are confirmed before the audit date, and findings are discussed with management rather than simply emailed.
Confirm the Scope
We confirm the site, type of audit required, business activities, number of employees and any client, tender or inspection requirements.
Audit the Workplace
We conduct a practical site inspection and review visible workplace conditions, emergency arrangements, risk controls and compliance indicators.
Review Documents
We review relevant health and safety documentation, registers, appointment letters, training records, procedures and supporting evidence.
Issue the Report
You receive a clear audit report with findings, practical recommendations and actions that management can use for close-out.
Need implementation support after the audit?
OHSE Resolved can assist with close-out actions, document updates, monthly visits and practical implementation support after the audit. Need someone on the ground? We can place a safety officer on your site to run close-out.
What our health and safety audit covers
Our health and safety audit covers workplace conditions, documentation, emergency preparedness, appointments and training, and risk controls. It ends with findings and an action plan you can work from. If you need a compliance audit for a client, a tender or a certificate, tell us who is asking and we will scope it to their requirement.
Check where you stand first.
Run a quick self-check first. It shows where an audit is likely to find gaps. No signup, and nothing is submitted unless you choose to send it.
