Health and safety inspections
We operate a continuous programme of workplace inspections.
We target our health and safety interventions based on:
- guidance from the HSE
- where there is the highest potential risk using an officer's findings from a previous visit
We base our risk assessment on four factors:
- confidence in management
- safety performance
- health performance
- welfare standards
Types of intervention and inspection frequency in higher-risk premises
We base how often we inspect a premises and the type of intervention on its risk profile:
High Risk
Category A premises. We will carry out inspections at least once a year
Medium risk
Category B1 and B1 premises. We will carry out an inspection when:
- a directed programme is in place
- there is a new employer at a premises
- an employer occupies a new premises
- as part of our own local initiative
Low Risk
Category C. We will use non-inspection and non-intervention methods for low-risk premises.
