Gas System Compliance Audit

Independent audits of specialist gas systems and management arrangements to identify gaps, risks and improvement actions. We review safe operation, documentation, maintenance practices and on-site conditions, then provide clear, prioritised recommendations.​

​​

What We Assess

Compliance audits are tailored to your site, systems, and activities. The scope is agreed collaboratively to ensure the review reflects how your specialist gas systems are actually used and managed.

​

Depending on scope, this may include:

​

Plant & Infrastructure

• Manifold and plant arrangements

• Cylinder storage and changeover provisions

• System resilience and continuity of supply

• Identification of operational constraints and limitations

• Known vulnerabilities or single points of failure

​

Distribution & Points of Use

• Fixed gas distribution routes and interfaces

• Use of gases within laboratories, workshops, and technical areas

• Suitability of access, isolation, and control arrangements

• Risks associated with modification or extension of systems

​

Operational Activities

• Planned and reactive maintenance practices

• Installation, alteration, or upgrade activities

• Contractor management and supervision

• Permit-to-work and control-of-work interfaces

​

Documentation & Management Arrangements

• Policies, procedures, and local instructions

• Asset records and system documentation

• Maintenance records and inspection regimes

• Incident reporting and review processes

​

Human & Organisational Factors

• Role clarity and responsibility boundaries

• Competence, training, and supervision arrangements

• Communication, escalation, and decision-making practices

​

How the Audit Is Carried Out

Audit Type:

• Structured, site-specific specialist gas compliance audit

​

Delivery:

• Review of relevant documentation and records

• On-site inspection and observation (where required)

• Engagement with key operational, engineering, and safety personnel

​

Approach:

• Identification of hazards and compliance gaps

• Evaluation of risk and current control measures

• Review of practical effectiveness of controls

• Development of proportionate, achievable improvement actions

​

The focus is on realistic controls that can be implemented and maintained, rather than theoretical measures that are difficult to apply in practice.

​

Outputs & Documentation

You’ll receive clear, usable audit documentation designed to support governance, operational improvement, and inspection readiness.

​

Typical Outputs Include:

• Summary of audit scope and methodology

• Identified gaps, risks, and observations

• Prioritised recommendations with clear rationale

• Allocation of responsibility for improvement actions

• Supporting commentary to aid interpretation and review

​

Documentation is written to be accessible to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, making it suitable for operational teams, management, and external review.​
