Health And Safety Audit
A Health and Safety Audit is a detailed review of your workplace to check compliance, identify hazards, and ensure your company meets all legal requirements. It helps improve health and safety practices, reduce risks, and create a safer environment for employees and visitors.
Bravanark Network provides professional audit services for small businesses and larger organisations in Reading and across Berkshire, Wiltshire, Hampshire, and Buckinghamshire, helping you meet your responsibilities under the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) framework. Our audits are designed to strengthen your health and safety management system, promote safer working practices, and give you confidence that your procedures are compliant and effective.
What Is a Health and Safety Audit?
A Health and Safety Audit is a structured assessment of your company’s systems, procedures, and documentation. It examines whether your organisation’s safety measures are effective, how responsibilities are managed, and whether your workforce has received sufficient training.
A thorough audit will typically review:
- Management commitment and employee involvement
- Risk assessments, policies, and procedures
- Training records and competence levels
- Incident and near-miss reporting systems
- Ongoing monitoring and performance reviews
These audits provide a clear picture of your safety performance and how well your business is meeting its legal obligations.

We take a practical, hands-on approach to every audit. Our consultants tailor each inspection to your specific operations and workplace conditions, ensuring the audit is relevant and proportionate to your needs.
