Overview
A risk assessment only protects people if the controls it recommends are carried out and recorded. Our monitoring contracts take care of the routine tasks in your written scheme so nothing gets missed, and give you an audit-ready record whenever an insurer, auditor or inspector asks.

Frequently asked questions
Can my own staff do the monitoring?
Yes, if they are trained and competent. Many clients use a hybrid model where on-site staff carry out weekly flushing and we do the monthly temperature checks and annual inspections.
What happens if a reading is out of range?
Out-of-range readings are flagged on the day with a recommended action, and we can return to investigate and put it right.
