A safety gap analysis is an informal proactive tool utilized to ensure that current safety and management systems, policies and procedures are effective and complying with HSE legislation. It also emphasizes to both your internal and external stakeholders that they work in an environment which wants to promote safety as one of its core values.

​

The Safety Gap Analysis can cover a wide variety of assessments and is designed to identify strengths and opportunities for improvement within the workplace. An experienced HSE International team member conducts a full desktop review of all policies, procedures and associated systems documentation related to the management of HSE across all operations and sites. Our experienced team will utilize criteria from the relevant HSE legislation and standards as the benchmark for performance. The second step in the analysis process is a completion of a site inspection to validate the key findings from the desktop review. The onsite inspection will include interviews with key stakeholders and observations to evaluate the level of implementation of the Safety Management System (SMS) and compliance to HSE legislation and standards.

​

A formal report will be provided which outlines the identified gaps, prioritized risks and associated ranked recommendations. The recommendations will be provided in an editable format which can form the basis of the organization’s safety action plan. This will provide a tangible document for leaders in the organization to progress safety initiatives and measure performance.
