Inspections & Auditing
Every business must observe statutory obligations, when it comes to the management and compliance of Health and Safety within the workplace.
Compliance Auding and Workplace Inspections
Health and safety workplace inspections and audits are designed to assess and evaluate the safety and well-being of employees and others within a workplace or organisation.
They are ideally conducted by an external H&S auditor or consultant, who is competent in identifying potential workplace hazards and mitigating risks to prevent accidents and injuries. These inspections and audits are crucial to ensuring the safety of the workplace environment, as well as the individuals working within it.
Health and safety inspections and audits involve a comprehensive review of all aspects of the workplace, including its physical structure, safety working procedures, and occupational Health, Safety and Welfare Management Systems (OHSWMS).
Our comprehensive audit and workplace inspection, will identify any potential risks, hazards, or safety concerns and make recommendations for improvements.
Compliance audits and workplace inspections can be carried out separately, or jointly at the same time.

Assessments & Consultancy
DSE is now one of the most commonly used types of work equipment, therefore the HSE introduced The Health and Safety (Display Screen Equipment) Regulations 1992 to protect the health of those who work with DSE.
Workers meet the classification of a DSE user if they meet the following criteria:
-
They use DSE on a daily basis;
-
They use DSE for an hour or more at a time;
-
They could not do their job without DSE.
If workers meet the DSE classification, (including home worker) employers must do a workstation (DSE) assessment.
Employers should look at: the whole workstation, including equipment, furniture, work conditions and the job being done

Fire Safety Management
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, and The Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, if you are an employer, landlord or owner of a commercial premises you then have a legal duty to ensure fire safety within your business. If you employ 5 or more people, legally you must have a written Fire Risk Assessment (FRA).
Fire Risk Assessment & Review
The aim of a Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) is to identify potential fire hazards within a workplace, building or from work activities carried out. It also assesses the risk to life of those occupying the building and makes recommendations to eliminate or mitigate the identified risks by identifying suitable control measures.
As with any risk assessment it needs to be suitable and sufficient to ensure the risks are clearly identified.
It is essential that the fire risk assessment is completed by someone a competent person and that they have access to relevant information and support.
A Fire Risk Assessment is like any other risk assessment. Therefore to ensure it is compliant and up to date, it is recommended that it is reviewed annually as part of a periodic review.
It should also be reviewed whenever there are any significant changes that could affect the fire risk, including changes to the building, staff, occupancy, activities, legislation etc...
Eden Health and Safety can carry out new or annual fire risk assessments on your business properties, as well as review your fire policy and evacuation procedure. We can also act as professional (competent) observers at your fire drills.
