GAP Analysis
A GAP analysis is type of audit, undertaken to assess the effectiveness of your organisation’s current health and safety policies and procedures and identify any areas where improvements are required to ensure compliance. A GAP Analysis provides more than a clear picture of the effectiveness of your health and safety program. It identifies unknown weaknesses and recommends the actions required to improve overall safety.
Following the GAP Analysis, we would provide detailed recommendations which would form the basis for the development of a systematic step-by-step action plan to manage the resolution of any issues identified.
Assessing your performance on a regular basis allows you to take action to address any failings, improving the effectiveness of your health and safety management procedures and making it easier to prevent accidents and injuries.
What are the benefits of undertaking a GAP Analysis?
- Identifies risks and weaknesses – often before these result in health and safety incidents
- Identifies why your health and safety performance targets are consistently not achieved
- Recommends actions to improve overall safety
- Provides a baseline for the development of KPIs and other measurement and monitoring systems
- Helps ensure compliance
- Identifies inefficiencies and helps free up resources
- Generates cost savings and time efficiencies
How frequently does a GAP Analysis need to be undertaken?
A GAP Analysis is a problem-solving exercise. We would usually recommend that it is undertaken either when your organisation struggles to meet performance goals, following a major health and safety incident or injury or when there are changes in legislation.
