Compliance Inspections
Comprehensive statutory inspections and safety audits to ensure your business remains fully compliant with UK Health & Safety legislation and insurance requirements.
Service Overview
At Greensurv, we provide a "one-stop" solution for all your statutory compliance needs. Staying compliant with the ever-changing landscape of UK safety regulations can be a daunting task for building owners and facilities managers. Whether it is the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, the Management of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) Regulations, or specific workplace safety orders, the responsibility to provide a safe environment lies with the "Duty Holder." Our expert inspectors conduct thorough, unbiased assessments across your property portfolio to identify risks, document safety measures, and provide the official certification needed to prove compliance. With Greensurv, you can focus on your core business while we ensure your physical assets meet the highest standards of legal and operational safety.
Statutory Health & Safety Audits
Our core inspection service involves a holistic review of your premises to identify physical hazards that could lead to injury, litigation, or HSE intervention. We look at the "big picture" of building safety to ensure no detail is overlooked.
Auditing walkways, lighting, ventilation, and structural integrity to prevent slips, trips, and falls.
Specialized inspections for landlords to ensure multi-tenant properties meet specific fire and amenity standards.
Identifying risks related to the storage and use of chemicals or biological agents on-site.
Checking ergonomics, noise levels, and indoor air quality to protect employee well-being.
Verifying that all mandatory safety signs are visible and that first aid kits are fully stocked and accessible.
Documentation Review & Gap Analysis
Compliance is as much about the "paperwork" as it is about the physical site. We review your existing safety files to ensure your audit trail is complete, up-to-date, and legally defensible.
Ensuring your written safety policies are current and reflect your actual site practices.
Creating and maintaining a digital log of all items requiring periodic testing (e.g., lifts, boilers, alarms).
Reviewing and renewing General Risk Assessments to account for new equipment or changes in building use.
Verifying that third-party contractors working on your site have the correct insurance and safety certifications.
Providing a clear "Red-Amber-Green" (RAG) report so you can tackle the most critical safety gaps first.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a "Statutory Inspection"?
It is an inspection required by law. Failing to carry these out can lead to criminal charges, fines, or your insurance being declared void.
Can Greensurv manage all my compliance in one contract?
Yes. We offer "Total Compliance" packages where we schedule and manage your fire, water, asbestos, and general safety inspections throughout the year.
What happens if an inspector finds a "High Risk" issue?
We notify you immediately. Our report will provide a clear recommendation on how to fix the issue to bring you back into compliance as quickly as possible.
How often should a general compliance audit be done?
While specific items have their own timelines (e.g., Fire is annual), we recommend a full "Health & Safety" audit at least once every 12 months.
Do you provide certificates after the inspection?
Yes. After every successful inspection, Greensurv issues a formal certificate or report that serves as your legal proof of compliance.
