Compliance Compass™
A structured compliance diagnostic that shows you exactly where you stand – and what to fix next.
Compliance Compass combines on-site workplace inspections with a detailed documentation review to give you a clear, evidence-based picture of your health and safety compliance.
No assumptions. No generic audits. Just clarity.
Who this is for: Organisations that want to understand their real compliance position before investing time, money or effort into fixing it.
Delivered in 4 weeks, backed by ISO 45001 expertise.
The Problem This Solves
Most organisations don’t actually know how compliant they are.
They have policies, registers and procedures – but they don’t know:
Whether those documents reflect what actually happens on-site
What would hold up under scrutiny after an incident
Which gaps matter most and which ones can wait
Compliance Compass exists to answer those questions clearly.
What Compliance Compass Actually Is
Compliance Compass is not a generic audit or a one-off inspection.
It is a structured diagnostic designed to:
Identify compliance gaps
Prioritise risk
Provide a clear roadmap for improvement
So you can make informed decisions about what to do next.
What Compliance Compass Reviews
Compliance Compass looks at your business through
two essential lenses:
1. Workplace Reality Review
This is what’s happening on the ground.
We review:
Physical workplace conditions
How work is actually carried out
Behaviours, controls and risk exposure
Whether systems are being followed in practice
This is where most gaps show up.
2. Documentation & Evidence Review
This is what you would be asked to produce.
We review:
Policies, procedures, and registers
Hazard and risk management documentation
Incident and reporting processes
Alignment with HSWA, ISO 45001 and pre-qualification requirements
This is the evidence that matters if something goes wrong.
