Health & safety audits in Warehousing, England & Wales
LRMS provides independent health and safety audits for warehouses and logistics premises. Our audits review how effectively your arrangements are working in practice — covering workplace transport, pedestrian segregation, racking, loading bays, MHE and battery-charging risks, contractor controls, manual handling, machinery interaction, incident management and emergency arrangements. Findings are rated and prioritised, and each action is assigned an owner, a priority and a target date.
Why local Warehousing knowledge matters
Warehouse H&S is governed by general health and safety law alongside HSE guidance HSG76 on warehousing and storage. We understand the realities of logistics operations — high-bay storage, MHE activity, shift patterns and high vehicle-pedestrian interaction — and deliver proportionate audits that reflect how warehouses actually operate. We do not claim technical engineering competence beyond verified scope.
H&S audits across Warehousing premises
We undertake health and safety audits across commercial, residential and specialist premises. The scope is agreed according to your organisation, activities, risks and applicable legal requirements.

Warehousing health & safety audit FAQs
What does a warehouse H&S audit cover?
Our audit reviews workplace transport, pedestrian segregation, racking, loading bays, MHE and battery-charging risks, contractor controls, manual handling, machinery interaction, incident management and emergency arrangements.
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.
Can you combine a warehouse H&S audit with a fire risk assessment?
Yes. Where appropriate, we can deliver both in a single coordinated site visit — one consultant, one report cycle and one point of contact.
