How inspections work

We carry out inspections based on the level of risk at each premises. Higher‑risk activities are inspected more often, and some inspections may take place without prior notice.

During an inspection, the officer will check that foreseeable risks to health, safety and welfare have been properly identified and controlled. This includes:

  • the level of training and understanding among managers and staff
  • whether the building is structurally safe and in good condition
  • whether work practices are being carried out safely and appropriately

Requesting advice or a visit

If you would like us to visit your workplace to offer guidance or support, please contact us to arrange an appointment.
