Extended Self-Assessment Auditing
Our ‘Extended’ checklists offer a deeper level of questioning of suppliers and can be used to audit properties and suppliers that produce high volumes of business, are located in particularly high-risk areas, offer transportation or high-risk activities & excursions included in the room rate, or where concerns about the standards of health & safety have been raised by customers or staff members. We also have the capacity to create Bespoke Extended audits to cater for specific requirements.
Physical Auditing
If on-site inspections are required, we can provide experienced consultants to visit properties and suppliers to carry out physical audits. We are committed to keeping our overseas travel to a minimum, however where there is a lasting benefit and the opportunity to improve safety standards in resort, we will consider undertaking overseas inspections.
How Self-Assessment Auditing Works
Advise us which properties and suppliers require an assessment
This can be determined by creating a Safety Management System policy document, and communicated to us when you take on new products.
We take care of the admin
We contact the property or supplier up to three times on your behalf requesting that they complete the online checklist.
Supplier completes and submits the checklist online
The checklists are easy-to-complete, ensuring a high response rate from the suppliers yet providing a comprehensive insight into their safety methods.
In-depth analysis takes place and queries raised if necessary
Our team of expert safety consultants review the submission and follow up with the property/supplier until we are satisfied that all reasonable skill and care has been taken to prevent accident and illness.
Results are shared via our online portal
Standard accommodation audits are shared with all clients. Where required, we can provide factual evidence and a paper trail of all audits and communications with properties.
