Elevating your safety standards

The Five Star Occupational Health and Safety Audit has been developed by British Safety Council, in collaboration with a wide range of sector and global health and safety experts, measuring your organisation’s occupational health and safety management system against the highest standards of best practice.

This audit offers support and guidance to help you achieve and maintain compliance while driving continuous improvement.

We believe our unique range of Five Star audits are among the most comprehensive health and safety audits available, delivered by the industry’s leading practitioners.

Helping you get to Five Star

Wherever you are on your journey, we’ll help you reach Five Star.

Achieving 1–4 Stars is already a strong reflection of your commitment to excellence, but the journey doesn’t stop there. With the right insight, support, and direction, you can go further.

Your path to Five Star starts with us.
