Health and Safety Audit Services: The Work Wallet Way

At Work Wallet, we believe health and safety are not just a compliance requirement; they are vital to protecting your people, operations, and reputation. Below, we explain the importance of auditing your processes and procedures, and explaining why it is vital that you book a Health & Safety audit with Work Wallet. 

A Health and Safety Audit is a structured review of your organisation’s policies, procedures, and practices to assess how effectively they align with current regulations and safety standards. It helps identify risks, improve safety controls, and ensure legal compliance while promoting a culture of continuous improvement.

With Work Wallet, audits become more than a checklist. Our platform allows you to track findings, assign actions, and monitor progress, ensuring nothing gets missed and accountability is maintained across your teams.

Why is a Health and Safety Audit Important?

Health and safety legislation, including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, legally obligates employers to protect staff and the workplace. Businesses with five or more employees are also required to maintain a written health and safety policy.

Conducting a Health and Safety Audit allows your organisation to proactively identify hazards that could cause harm, assess the likelihood and impact of those risks, and implement appropriate control measures. With Work Wallet, these actions are recorded and managed, helping you stay compliant and create a safer work environment.

What to Expect During a Health and Safety Audit

Our audits are designed to be thorough, practical, and aligned with the realities of your workplace. Whether you are an existing Work Wallet customer or exploring our services for the first time, our audit support ensures your business meets its legal obligations and effectively manages risk.

Your audit may include reviewing your health and safety policy, fire risk assessment, manual handling procedures, and COSHH documentation. We may also assess the management of asbestos and legionella risks and electrical safety records, such as PAT testing and EICRS. Additional areas often covered include display screen equipment assessments, lone working procedures, first aid provisions, stress management policies, and drugs and alcohol policies.

Where applicable, we will review certifications and records under LOLER and PUWER regulations, working at height procedures, and risk assessments for vulnerable workers, including pregnant and migrant staff. Our IOSH and NEBOSH-qualified assessors will require access to all areas of your premises, including plant rooms, basements, and lofts, as well as documentation such as your COSHH register, asbestos log, and CLEAPS records.

How Work Wallet Adds Value

Our audit service offers more than just compliance checks. We provide a complete review of your safety processes and practical, prioritised recommendations for improvement. We support the development of key safety documents, including fire safety policies and evacuation plans, and offer guidance on employee induction content to strengthen internal awareness.

We can offer tailored advice and support where specialist or sector-specific risks are present. Any actions or findings are fully tracked within the Work Wallet platform, giving you complete visibility of progress, responsibilities, and due dates. Our system ensures that audit outcomes lead to measurable improvements in safety performance.

We also offer follow-up audits to help you maintain compliance over time and continue refining your safety strategy.

Do I Need External Support?

While many general health and safety templates are freely available, complex environments or industry-specific risks often require professional input. Legal responsibilities can vary depending on your activities, and the right approach is not always straightforward.

Work Wallet provides more than just auditing. Our team offers ongoing consultancy to help you navigate regulations, understand best practices, and prepare for inspections. We support you if you need help drafting policies, implementing control measures, or responding to audit findings.
