In a busy and chaotic business world, health and safety inspections can be overlooked, but what’s the consequence of this? As a business owner or owner of the premises, there can a lot to juggle and health and safety inspections may get put on the back burner. Fortunately, Business Safety Solutions are able to provide a dedicated service to ensure your premises are as safe as they can and in line with the latest H&S compliance.

Health & Safety Inspections – The Aims

There are some main aims to be achieved with H&S inspections. The cost of not being compliant could result in hefty fines, prosecutions, and negative publicity that can leave your business standing beyond repair. Fortunately, there are clear aims to make sure you are compliant and safe which include;-

•Looking for clear and obvious workplace hazards – One of the very first things that are involved with an H&S inspection includes looking for clear and obvious workplace hazards. Our health and safety assessors will check for these as one of the first points/calls of action.

•Analysing and evaluating current safety systems – Another main point for the H&S inspection is to analyse and evaluate current safety systems. For example, if safety systems haven’t been updated in some time and internal operations have changed in the meantime, this would be one of the top priorities.

•Ensuring compliance with Health & Safety legislation – One of the top priorities for all health and safety inspections we carry out for all businesses is to ensure full compliance with health and safety legislation.

•Checking manual handling – For businesses that operate within warehouses and factories in particular, checking manual handling and undergoing further training, if necessary, is of high importance to reduce the chances of injury to workers/employees.

•Checking current fire systems and processes – Have you got clear fire safety systems and processes in place to protect your occupants and premises in the event of a fire?

•Evaluating current machinery operations – As part of the H&S inspection, we’ll evaluate current machinery operations.

What Businesses Do You Provide Inspections For?

Business Safety Solutions are able to provide health and safety inspections for a wide range of sectors including warehouses, factories, offices, recycling centres, and more. We are incredibly passionate about putting the right procedures in place in order to help businesses comply with the latest health and safety laws whilst best protecting employees.

How often should you inspect?

How often you require health and safety inspections will largely depend on the nature of your work. H&S inspections are closely related to health and safety audits. For example, if you’re looking for professionals just like ourselves to undergo health and safety inspections in a low-risk environment such as an office, this will not be as frequent as an ever-expanding factory or warehouse. But don’t worry our excellent health and safety consultants at BSS will make sure you’re receiving adequate support for the years to come and beyond.

The frequency of health and safety inspections can vary depending on factors such as the nature of the workplace, the level of risk involved in the operations, and the current regulatory requirements. For example, if you operate within a high-risk environment, it’s likely that you may require health and safety inspections more regularly than a standard five-person office.

The duration of a typical health and safety inspection can vary depending on several factors, including the size and complexity of the workplace, the nature of the business operations, the thoroughness of the inspection, and the number of hazards or issues encountered. But, don’t worry, our team at Business Safety Solutions will be able to give you an estimated timeframe!

Larger workplaces with multiple buildings, work areas, and departments were likely to require more frequent health and safety inspections. Fortunately, we provide a prompt and local service so we can meet your requirements with minimal hassle.

A health and safety inspection typically covers various areas within the workplace to assess potential hazards, identify risks, and ensure compliance with safety regulations. Typical areas that we are able to cover include; work areas and stations, equipment and machinery, and anywhere else where safety hazards are identified.

During a health and safety inspection, employees play a crucial role in supporting the process and contributing to a safe working environment. Employees may assist with locating and identifying clear hazards from observation and experience.

Preparing for a health and safety inspection is crucial to ensure a smooth and successful assessment of workplace safety practices. Once the inspection is agreed with us, you may want to get ahead of the curve by planning and allocating resources accordingly. Other quick tips to prepare for an inspection may include; reviewing current policies, conducting self-inspections and reviewing incident reports.

After a health and safety inspection is conducted, several actions may take place depending on the findings and outcomes of the assessment. Some common actions to proceed with after the completion of an inspection may include; arranging staff training, implementing recommended actions to mitigate risks and documentation.

Yes, of course. If you’re looking for a without-charge consultation to discuss your bespoke health and safety requirements, please call us today at 01244 455277.

  • Testimonials
Gary came to my Osteopathic CPD group on 10th October 2020 on a zoom seminar. This was to give us reassurance of the health and safety procedures we have put in place for Covid 19. Gary readily and kindly agreed, giving an excellent well prepared presentation and easily with expert knowledge answered all our questions. I also found it very reassuring and helpful as he showed the dentistry and physiotherapy risk assessments he had implemented . The presentation helped to give confidence and reassurance to myself and osteopathic colleagues, that we have implemented the correct procedures of health and safety with full PPE and professional duty of care. Also Gary has been to my practice and brought all my professional policies of duty up to date. Fire Safety, Risk assessment, pathways for my practitioner team due to Covid. What a relief to have all this help and support, so all is professionally and expertly documented to give me peace of mind so I can concentrate on my work. Thank you so much and I will certainly recommend you most Highly.

“I became aware of Gary when he was being assessed for two Wamitab qualifications of Level 4 (High Risk Operator Competence for Managing Transfer of Hazardous Waste) and (High Risk Operator Competence for Managing Physical and Chemical Treatment of Hazardous Waste). His Assessor drew my attention to him and suggested that he would make a good assessor. I took an interest in his portfolio and found it to be well above average. I would be pleased to have Gary as an assessor through adversity he maintained a dignified attitude. His personal qualities included having a calm demeanour, good communicative skills and traditional values.”

"As a small business, it can be hard to find a trusted partner for H&S. The safety of our team is paramount, though spiralling costs were a concern. Gary perfectly understood the reality of being an SME and tailored and delivered a H&S package and Covid-19 audit, that fitted perfectly in our organisation (and our budget), with a sensible and effective approach."
The Goodlife Outdoor CompanyManaging Director
Our business has faced many new challenges due to the Covid-19 situation. With ever changing guidelines and with such important things at stake, we needed help and assurances that we were doing everything we needed to do as an employer to protect staff and protect the business. BSS performed a workplace audit for us and also provided so much useful information and resources to assist the business with our new fluid workforce requirement. After spending time with us in the office, BSS sent us a comprehensive action plan that we used to make our place of work safe. Gary’s clearly an experienced professional as his delivery method made it easy for us to understand a situation that’s previously done nothing but confuse us. We now have confidence that we have done what is required and we have shown that we are a responsible employer which is so important for us. The process was very efficient and all the paperwork arrived within days, as promised by BSS. We highly recommend BSS to all small businesses who want peace of mind about the safety of their offices and home working for staff.
