Is your MHE, warehouse or transport operation as safe as you think?
A one-day on-site Health Check for any site where equipment and people move: warehouses, factories, yards, distribution centres and transport operations. Our specialist watches the operation, talks to your team and reviews your records across 15 key areas, then sends you a plain-English report.

An independent view of the risks you can no longer see.
When you run the same operation day in, day out, it gets hard to spot the risks. An independent audit gives you a fresh pair of expert eyes, plus written evidence that you take MHE and workplace transport safety seriously.
Find risks before an incident does
Unclear traffic routes, informal authorisations and out-of-date training rarely show up until something goes wrong. A structured audit surfaces them while they are still cheap to fix.
Evidence of due diligence
If the HSE or your insurer asks how you manage workplace transport risk, an independent audit report and a record of the actions you took is solid evidence of due diligence.
Cut damage and downtime
Damaged stock, racking and vehicles usually point to a deeper problem in the operation. Fixing the cause can pay for the audit many times over.
