A Health & Safety Audit tool allows hospitality, retail or leisure businesses who operate across multiple locations to ensure each site is undertaking the necessary processes to ensure fire safety, food safety and health and safety compliance on a weekly basis.

#### Background

In the UK, legislation such as the Health and Safety Acts, as well as Food Safety Act, make clear that business owners are responsible to ensure that both customers and employees are kept safe whilst on a business’s premises. Local councils have enforcement officers to conduct regular food hygiene inspections and investigate any complaints in relation to food safety. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) must be notified of any serious accidents and can take further investigative and enforcement action. In the event of any inspection, investigation or enforcement action these agencies will request evidence that a site is compliant with the relevant regulations. Having the results of weekly self-audits available, tracking the flagging and subsequent resolution of any issues identified, demonstrates that the business has the appropriate controls and due diligence in place.

With BRYTER, legal departments can build a Health & Safety Audit that lets site managers go through an interactive questionnaire to check compliance with the relevant areas.  The modular logic of the tool can be used to produce a compliance score for each applicable area, based on the responses given. Any issues identified can have photographic evidence attached and can be escalated to the relevant department in the business.

Legal departments can easily maintain and update the risks and processes, as well as the underlying logic. Our [healthcare automation](https://bryter.com/industry/healthcare-compliance/) tool constitutes a scalable solution for overwhelmed legal departments and ensures consistency across all of a business’s regulatory compliance activity.
