Health & safety audits in Manchester that lead to action

Health & safety audits in Manchester, Greater Manchester

LRMS is a health, safety and fire consultancy providing independent health and safety audits across Manchester and the surrounding area. Our audits review how effectively your arrangements are working in practice — covering documentation and implementation across your management system, leadership, responsibilities, risk assessments, procedures, training, contractor control, workplace conditions, incident management and monitoring. Findings are rated and prioritised, not reduced to a pass or fail, and each action is assigned an owner, a priority and a target date.

Why local Manchester knowledge matters

Manchester's building stock ranges from Victorian industrial conversions and historic commercial premises to modern high-rise developments and out-of-town business parks. We understand the realities of Manchester premises — from city-centre mixed-use blocks to industrial units at Trafford Park and residential portfolios across the conurbation. That regional knowledge means practical, proportionate audits that reflect how Manchester organisations actually operate.

Scope & documents

We agree the audit scope and review your existing documentation and arrangements.

On-site audit

A structured audit is conducted across all management-system areas at your premises.

Rated findings

Findings are rated — conforming, improvement opportunity, action required, high priority — with evidence.

Action plan

A prioritised action plan with owners and target dates is delivered so you can close findings with confidence.

What you receive

Practical, documented outputs — designed to be acted on, not filed and forgotten.

Are you based in Manchester?

Yes. As a North West consultancy we provide health and safety audits across Manchester and the surrounding area, with fast mobilisation and no distant-firm travel premiums.

Is the audit a pass or fail?

No. We rate findings rather than issuing a pass or fail — conforming, improvement opportunity, action required, or high priority — unless the audit method actually operates that way, which we would confirm in advance.

What does a Manchester H&S audit cover?

Our audit reviews your management system, leadership, responsibilities, risk assessments, procedures, training, contractor control, documentation, workplace conditions, incident management, monitoring and emergency arrangements. Where appropriate, it can include gap analysis against legal requirements, internal standards or recognised management-system expectations.

Can you combine an H&S audit with a fire risk assessment?

Yes. Where appropriate, we can deliver both in a single coordinated site visit to your Manchester premises — one consultant, one report cycle and one point of contact for both fire and H&S.

Do you support multi-site Manchester portfolios?

Yes. We support housing providers, multi-site operators and facilities-management groups, offering standardised reporting, central action tracking and portfolio-level governance.
