Audit and verification

Your health, safety and wellbeing, workplace hygiene, business continuity, food safety and supply chain management practices can be assessed using both onsite and remote audits, followed by evaluation of relevant documents, policies, practices and staff interviews.

You'll then receive a report highlighting areas of compliance and non-compliance along with indication of further areas of improvement according to available best practices. Audits can also be to a set of customized audit criteria, adding a wider range of risk areas relevant to your organization and industry along with a verification certificate of compliance to enable you to demonstrate your commitment to best practices.

Resilient supply chains

Supply chain operations and confidence in your suppliers is essential as businesses begin to reopen and rebuild.

Establishing robust supply chain control is a key component of risk management and also contributes to the effective protection of health and wellbeing. It enables confidence in your stakeholders, and supports your communications to employees, visitors and customers that risks have been minimized as you return to work.
