Health & safety audits
Stay compliant, protect your people, and streamline safety with expert-led health & safety audits tailored for hospitality businesses.
Every business has specific health & safety obligations. But running a hospitality business brings with it unique health & safety risks that could pose a hazard to your staff and your customers.
Our experienced audit team is made up of Environmental Health Practitioners and consultants who all have many years of hospitality-specific experience, so they know how to help you to get your premises up to the very best standards.
What is a health & safety audit?
A health & safety audit is a professional review of your business’s safety setup. It looks at how you manage risks to make sure your whole team is safe and sound. We’ll take an in-depth look at your safety documents and walk through your premises to identify some potential risks. The aim is to spot what’s working well and find areas where you might need to tweak your processes a little, focusing on your employees’ wellbeing and health & safety regulations.
