Regulatory Compliance and Audit

Management - Policy and Compliance

Management of policies and ratification ensures a healthy business. We can provide information, support and general policy examples to keep you on track with your wide ranging responsibility of managing your establishment.
A hazard is something that is likely to cause harm. A risk is the likelihood that a hazard will cause harm in combination with the severity of injury, damage or loss that might foreseeably occur. We provide general risk assessments that you can adapt, and add to to ensure you are identifying hazards, evaluating the risk and then either eliminating or controlling the risk to an acceptable level.

We will support you through this process, ensuring you are to be compliant with various regulations and acts, criminal and civil law.
