Audits and Inspections
Checking that the controls you wrote down are actually happening on the floor.
Inspections and audits are how you monitor health and safety. A workplace inspection looks at conditions: housekeeping, fire doors, welfare, vehicles, PPE. An audit looks at whether the management system is working. Findings need an owner, a date, and close-out. Leemarda Safety writes the record and hosts it so you can show what was found and what was fixed.
Ask Leemarda to do this for youWhat the law requires
- Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, regulation 5: the arrangements for preventive and protective measures must include effective monitoring and review.
- HSWA 1974 still sits behind this: if you do not check, you cannot show that you have done what is reasonably practicable.
Official guidance
- HSG65 treats measuring performance as part of Plan, Do, Check, Act. Inspections, audits and director tours are good practice that support the legal duty to monitor, they are not a named offence on their own.
