Operator control
Regulation 6 underpins the operator’s coordinated, proactive management of health and safety across the quarry.

Turn scattered inspection records into one controlled site view.
A fixed-scope desk review for one quarry. We map the agreed fire, electrical, lifting, water, asbestos and building-services records to the correct premises or ancillary asset—then show the dates, evidence gaps and decisions that need ownership.
Built around existing records. No production interruption or site visit is assumed.

Inspection evidence, not a parallel management system
Specialist records should support the quarry’s controls—not sit beside them.
HSE’s quarry guidance explains that a written scheme should address systematic inspection, maintenance and, where appropriate, testing. It also allows relevant statutory inspection and maintenance completed under other regulations to be incorporated rather than duplicated.

Where the review fits
A supporting evidence layer—not “complete quarry compliance”.
The operator remains responsible for the quarry health and safety document, management structure, competence, site rules, permits and inspection arrangements. The review covers only the agreed premises and ancillary-asset evidence.
Health and safety document
Risks, controls, responsibilities, inspection schemes and review arrangements belong within the quarry’s own management system.
Official HSE guidanceSystematic inspection
The review helps organise agreed specialist evidence for the site team; it does not design or approve the quarry’s regulation 12 scheme.
Official legislationWhat the written scope includes
Four outputs the site team can use.
We work from the agreed records already held. Technical validity, actual site condition and follow-on work remain subject to the relevant competent person, site controls and separate written instruction.

A contained first instruction
Clear enough to approve. Narrow enough to control.
The fit call confirms what is in scope before records are requested. The written quotation then states the inputs, exclusions, fee, delivery date and intended management use.
- 01Confirm the quarry and boundaries
Identify the buildings, ancillary assets, buyer, operating constraints and reason for the review.
- 02Agree the record set
Issue a focused request list covering only the relevant specialist workstreams and dates.
- 03Build the evidence view
Index records, map the agreed evidence, programme dates and organise open decisions.
- 04Handover to the site team
Review the outputs, limitations, priority decisions and any separately scoped next step.

A commercial commitment with clear limits
No vague “all compliance” promise.
Before the review begins, Compliance Plus confirms the quarry, included premises and assets, record set, four outputs, exclusions, fixed fee and delivery date in writing. Any technical inspection, test, maintenance or corrective action is a separate decision.
The review organises supplied evidence and actions. It is not a site inspection, legal opinion, statutory report, certification or assurance of legal compliance.Before you engage
Credible boundaries. Practical answers.
This is a premises and ancillary-asset offer for quarry operators. It helps connect specialist evidence and next actions; it does not replace the quarry team’s statutory management system or competent technical judgment.
Is this a full quarry compliance audit?
No. It is a focused desk review of the agreed premises and ancillary-asset evidence. It does not certify legal compliance or assess quarry design, production machinery, geotechnical matters, explosives, DSEAR, process safety or environmental permits.
Does the review replace the quarry health and safety document or inspection scheme?
No. The operator retains both duties. The review helps map agreed specialist building and ancillary-asset records into a clearer evidence and action view that the quarry team can use within its own arrangements.
Which records can be included?
The fit call defines the relevant set. It may include fire, fixed electrical, LOLER, water hygiene, asbestos, gas, HVAC and pump or drainage records for the agreed buildings and ancillary assets.
What if more than one quarry is in scope?
Start with one representative site. If the output is useful, we can price a consistent roll-out across a defined group without assuming every quarry has the same buildings, assets or controls.
Can follow-on inspections or maintenance be coordinated?
Where available and agreed, yes. Each technical instruction has its own written scope, competence requirements, exclusions and quotation. The quarry remains in control of access, permits, isolations and site rules.
How much does the review cost?
The fee is fixed in writing after the fit call confirms the quarry, record set, applicable workstreams and required output. No technical inspection or corrective work is included unless it is separately scoped and quoted.
Start with a fit check
One quarry. Four outputs. A written fixed scope.
Tell us which site is in scope, which records are difficult to control and what the management team needs to see. We will confirm whether the review is the right first instruction.
- Fee and delivery date confirmed before work begins
- No production-plant or statutory-quarry scope implied
- No obligation to place follow-on work
The review is not a quarry audit, site inspection, statutory report, certification or legal opinion. It excludes production machinery, geotechnical, explosives, DSEAR, process-safety and environmental-permitting duties.
