The healthiest audit system is one where the bulk of the heavy lifting is done internally. This is key as the more you internalise H&S the more you learn and understand about your business. This then drives and strengthens your H&S culture. However, a crucial additional part is external checks. Different sets of eyes, helps to eliminate any natural bias that might sneak in as well as any blind spots you may have. Having external auditors also allows you to learn from other companies experiences.
The auditors below are familiar with the Assure360 system and can help you get the most out of it.

Navigating the complex terrains of asbestos management for over two decades, I wear multiple hats with pride: a seasoned asbestos consultant, former asbestos removal license holder, a diligent ACAD auditor, and the co-owner of Consulo Compliance, a beacon in health, safety, and compliance. My journey, enriched by steering a licensed asbestos removal company, has included milestones like achieving 3 of the elusive 3-year asbestos removal licenses and managing several multi-million-pound removal contracts.
I bring a refreshingly pragmatic approach to the table. When I audit, I don’t just point out the gaps – I help bridge them then and there. Why leave clients puzzling over lists when we can join forces and tackle issues head-on? At Consulo, our ethos revolves around becoming invaluable partners in our clients’ quality management systems.
