Gap Analysis

At Business Safety we assist businesses across Ireland with their Health and Safety requirements.

Gap Analysis:

A gap analysis is an important first step in improving health and safety standards, and in particular in implementing a health and safety management system. It is used as a benchmark of current safety standards against a recognised standard such as OHSAS 18001.

Business Safety can conduct a gap analysis of your current health and safety arrangements and devise appropriate solutions for improving performance and meeting the requirements of OHSAS 18001.
