"The auditor was engaging and energetic and my teams got huge value from her audits, well beyond just checking off the audit criteria.

They have been left more aware of best practice for their locations and are now energised about raising their safety standards even further!"

A consistent approach, wherever your sites are based

International audits are designed to assess how effectively your safety systems work in practice, not just how they appear on paper. Each audit is structured to reflect local legislation and recognised best practice while remaining firmly aligned to your internal policies, procedures and risk appetite.

This approach ensures findings are meaningful at site level while still allowing performance to be reviewed, compared and managed centrally across countries and regions.

Focused on how sites really operate

Our auditors take time to understand how each site functions day to day, including staffing, training, communication and management oversight. Audits look beyond documentation to assess how risks are actually controlled during live operations, whether teams understand and follow your systems, and whether records demonstrate effective due diligence.

The objective is to identify genuine risk, support improvement and protect your reputation internationally, rather than applying a one-size-fits-all checklist.

"Very impressed with your approach, the team really enjoyed your audits and feel very supported by you - in particular, the 'show me/tell me' approach that you use during audits to engage with the teams on site."

"I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding audit experience we just had.

Your auditor's professionalism, patience, and exceptional coaching skills truly made a significant impact on our team and the overall audit process."

Clear reporting with international visibility

Each international audit produces a clear, structured report that explains findings in plain language and prioritises actions based on risk and practicality. Reports highlight both areas of non-compliance and examples of good practice, helping leadership teams understand not just where issues exist, but why they matter.

Where appropriate, reports also draw out wider trends across countries or regions, supporting informed decision-making at a senior level.

Flexible delivery, agreed in advance

International audits can be delivered on site, remotely, or through a hybrid approach depending on location, operational risk and business needs. All international work is scoped and agreed in advance, ensuring audits are proportionate, practical and aligned with local requirements.

This flexibility allows organisations to maintain consistent oversight across borders without compromising quality or independence.

Who International Audits are for

International Audits are particularly suited to organisations operating multi-site portfolios across Europe or globally, where consistency, comparability and independent assurance are essential. They are commonly used by leadership and compliance teams seeking clear oversight beyond what local providers alone can offer.
