Statutory Compliance Safety Audits

Why Safety Audits?

Health and safety is of key importance to all organisations. In July 2015, 1.2 million people were suffering from an illness they believed was caused or made worse by their work.

As a result 28.2 million working days were lost due to work related illness and workplace injury – costing the UK £14.2 billion.
