Safety Audits

Comprehensive and IS 14489 audits that expose drift and gaps.

A structured, evidence-based audit of your safety management system against statutory requirements and recognised practice, including IS 14489, the code of practice for occupational safety and health audit in the chemical and allied industries. We examine documentation, physical conditions, and actual practice through site walkdowns, records review, and interviews, then score conformance and surface where the system has drifted from intent. Findings are ranked by exposure and consequence and delivered as a prioritised corrective roadmap with clear owners and timelines.

Independent audits of suppliers, contractors, and acquisition targets.

Independent, third-party safety audits conducted on your behalf across suppliers, contractors, vendors, and prospective acquisition or partnership targets. We verify HSE management maturity, legal compliance, contractor-control practice, and incident history against a defined protocol, then report conformance with evidence so you can qualify, monitor, or de-risk a relationship. This supports pre-qualification, periodic vendor assurance, and pre-deal due diligence where unmanaged safety liabilities can materially change the decision.

Incident-energy study, labelling, and arc-rated PPE selection.

An engineering study of your electrical distribution that models available fault current and protective-device clearing times to calculate incident energy and arc-flash boundaries using the IEEE 1584 method, supported by a short-circuit and protective-device coordination study. We define the approach boundaries, assign the required arc-rated PPE in line with NFPA 70E, and produce compliant equipment warning labels so workers know the hazard before they open a panel. The assessment also identifies opportunities to reduce incident energy through protection settings and design, lowering both risk and PPE burden.

Benchmark your PSM maturity against a recognised framework.

We benchmark your current process safety management against a recognised element-based framework - typically the 14 OSHA PSM elements or an equivalent CCPS risk-based process safety model - through document review, plant walkdowns and interviews. Each element is scored for maturity, gaps are ranked by risk and effort, and you receive a prioritised closure roadmap with clear owners. This gives leadership a defensible picture of where process safety stands before an incident or regulator does.

Element-by-element audit of process safety management.

We audit your process safety management program element by element - mechanical integrity, management of change, operating procedures, process hazard analysis, pre-startup safety review and the rest - testing not just documentation but whether controls work in practice on the plant floor. Findings are evidence-based, risk-ranked and mapped to the responsible element owner with practical corrective actions. Conducted on a recurring cycle, PSM audits demonstrate due diligence and catch barrier decay before it becomes a major-accident pathway.

Anticipate, recognise and control workplace health hazards.

Industrial hygiene work led by a Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) applies the anticipate-recognise-evaluate-control discipline to chemical, physical and biological exposures - dust, solvents, noise, heat, fumes and more. We design exposure-assessment strategies, conduct qualitative and quantitative workplace monitoring against occupational exposure limits, run respirator fit testing, and recommend a controls hierarchy from substitution and engineering controls through to correctly specified respiratory protection.

Cut musculoskeletal risk from manual handling and workstation design.

Ergonomic assessment evaluates how tasks, workstations and tools fit the worker to reduce musculoskeletal disorders from manual handling, repetitive motion and poor posture. Using established tools such as RULA, REBA and the NIOSH lifting equation, we quantify risk across the job, then recommend task redesign, layout and tooling changes and safer lifting techniques. The output is a prioritised action plan that lowers strain injuries and lost-time days.
