Legal Compliance Audits
Practical, evidence-based audits that identify legal compliance gaps, prioritise corrective actions and help organisations prepare for client, internal and regulatory inspections.
Know where your compliance risks are
Our legal compliance audits compare the agreed workplace or project scope with the evidence available in practice. The result is a clear report your management team can use to correct gaps, assign responsibilities and monitor completion.

Audit scope tailored to your organisation
The audit may cover the Occupational Health and Safety Act and applicable regulations, Construction Regulations, Physical Agents Regulations, client specifications and other agreed requirements. Mining-related scopes can include applicable Mine Health and Safety Act requirements.
Services include baseline legal compliance audits, contractor audits, follow-up audits, legal-register reviews, readiness assessments and reports for tender or government-department requirements. Any organisation compliance certificate is issued only where the agreed requirements have been evaluated and met; it is not a government endorsement or accredited certification.
Frequently asked questions
Do you conduct legal compliance audits for ISO 45001 systems?
Yes. We can evaluate legal-requirements processes and workplace evidence as part of an ISO 45001 gap assessment or internal-audit programme.
Can you prepare government-department audit reports and certificates?
Yes, where a tender or department specifies an audit report or compliance certificate. We first confirm the exact criteria, then report honestly against the available evidence.
How often should a legal compliance audit be conducted?
The frequency depends on risk, legal changes, client requirements and previous findings. Many organisations schedule an annual full audit with shorter follow-up reviews.
Will an audit disrupt our operations?
We plan sampling, interviews and site observations around normal work as far as practical while still gathering sufficient evidence.
