The objective is to determine and discover strengths and weaknesses and any areas of vulnerability or risk, whilst considering how your health and safety system operates in practice. This process can show you how to make practical improvements.

At Environtec, all of our audits are conducted by an experienced and qualified ‘competent person’. We can assist and undertake the following audits to meet your needs.
