Fire Door Inspections

Safety inspections are a structured yet less formal method of identifying hazards, defects, or potential failings within specific activities, equipment, or work areas. They are generally more focused in scope than audits and are designed to confirm that items or tasks meet defined minimum standards or acceptable limits.

Common examples of safety inspections include:

• Routine electrical inspections

• Scaffold inspections

• Equipment and machinery inspections

• Plant inspections

• Vehicle checks

• Infrastructure inspections, such as fire alarms, emergency lighting, sprinklers, cranes, and passenger lifts

Safety inspections are typically recorded by a qualified safety professional or an appointed safety representative. There are many different types of inspections, but most follow a structured process using established procedures or checklists. This approach ensures inspections are consistent and comprehensive, regardless of who carries them out, and helps inspectors clearly identify specific health and safety concerns.

Recruitment Support & Short-Term Cover

Safety Hands Plus provides recruitment support and temporary cover to help organisations maintain legal compliance during challenging periods such as short- or long-term sickness, maternity leave, unexpected departures, or other staffing gaps within your safety team. Even during difficult times, not having access to legally required competent advice is not a defence if something goes wrong—especially when other pressures are present.

We are experienced in delivering short-, medium-, and long-term cover for projects or busy periods, including support for new site setups, cover while recruiting permanent staff, or assistance for site-based projects away from your main locations.

Finding the right health, safety, and environmental professional—whether for a global corporation or a small local business—can be complex. We believe successful recruitment is about people, which is why we take the time to understand your team, values, needs, and ambitions. By getting to know your organisation properly, we can match you with the right fit.

Whether your requirement is temporary or permanent, we offer a tailored solution to suit your situation. With over 20 years’ experience in recruiting safety professionals, Safety Hands Plus can support your in-house team with drafting job descriptions, reviewing applications, shortlisting, vetting, interviewing, and candidate selection.
