Ensuring a safe working environment is a legal and moral responsibility for all businesses. Regular workplace safety audits help identify risks, improve compliance, and protect employees from potential hazards. At Square Safety Solutions, we provide comprehensive health and safety audits for businesses across Greater Manchester and Cheshire, helping you stay compliant with UK regulations.

What is a Workplace Safety Audit?

A workplace safety audit is a systematic review of your premises, procedures, and policies to assess compliance with health and safety laws. Regular audits can help to:

• Identify and eliminate workplace hazards.
• Ensure compliance with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
• Improve safety procedures and workplace culture.
• Reduce the risk of accidents, injuries, and potential legal liabilities.
• Prepare for inspections from the HSE or local authorities.

Our safety audits provide businesses with a clear action plan for meeting legal requirements while maintaining a safe and productive working environment.
