Frequently Asked Questions

How is a gap analysis different from a workplace inspection?

A workplace inspection focuses on identifying hazards in the physical work environment. A gap analysis is a broader yet more in‑depth evaluation of your entire health and safety management system, including policies, procedures, training, records, supervision, and legislative compliance, in addition to on‑site observations.

What does the gap analysis process involve?

Our approach to conducting a gap analysis is a structured, multi-step process that starts with a preparation phase to confirm client objectives and gather existing materials, an on-site assessment to observe the workplace, a detailed analysis with a written report and action plan, and a closing meeting. Our process ensures findings are evidence based, accurate to your workplace, and practical.

How are gaps evaluated and prioritized?

Identified gaps are assessed based on risk. Legal and high‑risk deficiencies will be highlighted so organizations can prioritize corrective actions and allocate resources effectively. For example, higher risk items will be marked to correct immediately, versus recommendations based on best practices.

Can you help us address the gaps after the analysis report is complete?

Yes. Ongoing health and safety consulting support is available following completion of the gap analysis. Not only is it available, but we also highly recommend at least one follow up audit 3-6 months after the initial gap analysis to support ongoing compliance. Ongoing health and safety consulting support after an audit can include policy development, training, and site visits to help close identified gaps effectively.
