It’s important to routinely audit your health and safety arrangements to ensure you are keeping your staff safe and complying with legislation! The audit will consist of a brief introduction meeting to understand the premises and anything in particular you want me to focus on which may involve a review of your Fire Risk Assessment or any previous audits.

Then a full inspection of the premises will occur including loft and void areas, riser cupboards, plant rooms, store cupboards, etc. The inspection will include a sample of bedrooms (if applicable to the property type) and a tour of the external grounds.

Finally I will conduct a review of documentation which may include EICR, PAT, Gas Safe Certificate, Oil System, Fire Alarm, Emergency Lighting, Fire Extinguisher, Fire Doors, PEEPS, AOVs, Pressure Vessels, Lightning Protection, Dry Riser, Sprinkler, Drills, Training, Asbestos, Legionella, LOLER, Policies, COSHH, Risk Assessments including various in house daily, weekly, monthly, etc, checks and tests such as weekly fire alarm, monthly emergency lighting, quarterly descaling.

A debrief would be carried out on site, focussing on significant findings only if there are a large number of findings and a detailed report and action plan submitted after the audit.
