What is Gap Analysis?

Gap analysis is a systematic assessment that compares your organization's current safety, health, and environmental management practices against recognized standards, regulations, or best practices. It identifies gaps, weaknesses, and areas where improvements are needed to achieve compliance or certification.

Our gap analysis services provide a clear roadmap for improvement by identifying what you're doing well, what needs improvement, and what's missing entirely. This assessment is essential before pursuing certifications like ISO 45001, ISO 14001, or BizSAFE, or when preparing for regulatory compliance audits.

A comprehensive gap analysis helps prioritize improvement efforts, allocate resources effectively, and provides a baseline for measuring progress toward your safety and compliance goals.
