Our team will assess your existing management systems, policies, and records to identify any gaps against the RISQS audit criteria, helping you close them before your audit takes place.

We provide hands-on support during your RISQS audit, including document preparation, auditor engagement, and post-audit action planning.

If required, we help you implement compliant health and safety, quality, environmental, and competency management systems that meet the RISQS and Sentinel scheme requirements.

Stay compliant year-round with proactive support, policy reviews, evidence updates, and help managing changes in RISQS requirements.
