The Cost of the Audit

Our small business audit has been specifically designed for small businesses and is priced accordingly.

If you have less than 6 employees, the cost of the Hazard Assessment and the initial audit report is £295 (inclusive of VAT) plus £10 per month. The monthly payment entitles you to continuing advice and guidance on a month by month basis. It may be terminated on three months notice.

If you have more than 5 employees then the cost of the audit increases by up to £60 per employee. £60 is the maximum depending on your business operations, for example, how many offices you work out of and how complex your operations are.

When you get in touch with us, we will be able to be more specific.

If you have more than 15 employees, please contact us for a specific quote based on your individual circumstances.

Our pricing is based upon the number of employees because more employees implies more work space and a greater number of working practices to assess.

We will also invoice you for any travel costs that we have incurred but at cost.

What Happens After the Audit?

Following the audit report we will discuss with you the need to make changes to your system, if necessary, and we will provide a quote as to what we think these changes will cost.

We promise that you will not incur any costs above the initial audit fee unless we have provided you with a written quote and agreed a fee in advance.

We may decide together that is cheaper to start again. In which case, we will do the work that is required for the price of the start up package plus the cost of a Fire Risk Assessment, if necessary.

The safety audit package covers your responsibilities as an employer under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Regulations made under it. It is not intended to cover any responsibilities you might otherwise have under any other pieces of legislation such as labelling obligations, or any obligations as a manufacturer or supplier and the like.

Where we are able to help with additional advice in these areas, we will provide a specific quote, upon request.

The monthly retainer entitles you to advice and guidance on an ongoing basis. It covers our initial response to any query you may have. In many situations no additional charges will be incurred by you but if your query requires any detailed follow up we will provide you with an upfront quote and will not embark upon any work or incur any charges without your prior written approval.
