Audit and Inspections Management: Plan, Do, Act, Check

Health and safety audit software is a digital system for planning audits, conducting them against a structured checklist, recording findings, and tracking the corrective actions that follow. It replaces the spreadsheets, printed checklists and email chains most organisations still rely on. Under regulation 5 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, employers must hold arrangements for monitoring and reviewing their safety measures. Safety365 keeps that cycle in one auditable record.

Both options exist. Templates can be built from scratch with company-defined sections and checklist clauses, then published with a version freeze so every audit stays tied to the template version in use when it started. Sevron also maintains a library of more than 6,500 prebuilt templates, and will build one to order where a standard is not covered. Changing a published template does not alter an audit already under way.

An internal audit checks an organisation's own arrangements against its own standards. A compliance audit checks them against an external requirement, whether regulatory or contractual. In Safety365 the distinction sits in the template, which defines the audit type, the scope and the checklist clauses used. The same workflow of findings, root cause analysis and verified closure runs behind both, so results stay comparable across audit types.

Publishing an audit report does not close its findings. Each finding carries objective evidence, auditor notes, root cause analysis and corrective actions, and stays open until that work is done. A finding closes only once every linked corrective action is closed. Where verification is required it stays pending verification first, so someone independent can confirm the fix actually worked. Company settings decide which finding types need that step.

Five, at no cost. That covers building a template, running an audit against it, recording findings, raising corrective actions and taking at least one finding through to verified closure, so a team can judge the module on its own records rather than on a demonstration or a trial that expires before the work is finished.

No. Safety365 sits alongside an existing ISO audit process rather than replacing it. Templates are built to whatever standard an organisation audits against, whether that is a certification requirement, a customer contract or an internal policy, so existing clause structures carry across unchanged. What shifts is where the work lives. Findings, root cause analysis and corrective actions run in one connected record rather than across separate documents and email threads.

Separately. Audit Management is a paid addition to Safety365 rather than part of the core subscription, so existing customers add it to their current plan. Access is then controlled by module activation and by each user's audit role and location, which means it can be switched on only for the teams that need it.
