Health and safety audit software for independent consultants

A safety audit is only as useful as the record it leaves behind. Clipboard notes that need transcribing before you can issue the report, or generic checklists that do not reflect how you actually work, add time without adding value. Lytom Assess gives you a structured, on-site audit workflow that ends with a professional branded report delivered to your client's portal.

Customisable audit templates Findings and actions in one record Branded report to client portal

From checklist to client report, without the admin in between

Traditional audit workflows involve working through a checklist on paper, transcribing findings into a Word template, formatting it, and then emailing it across. At each step there's opportunity for error and delay. With Lytom Assess, what you enter on site is what goes into the report. When you return from the audit, you review, finalise and publish, and the report appears in the client portal immediately.

Findings, actions and follow-up

Every audit finding can have one or more actions raised against it, with a description, a priority rating and a due date. Those actions are tracked through the client portal so both you and your client can see what remains outstanding from each audit, without maintaining a separate spreadsheet. When you return for a follow-up visit, the previous audit record is there to continue from.

Reusable templates across your client base

Build an audit template once and apply it across every relevant client. If you use a consistent H&S management audit structure across all your clients, you create it in your workspace and deploy it wherever it fits. Adjustments for individual client needs are made at the assessment level without affecting the master template.

Frequently asked questions

What types of safety audit can I run with Lytom Assess?

Lytom Assess supports general H&S management audits, fire safety audits, COSHH compliance audits and working at height audits. You can also create custom audit templates to match your own methodology or a client's specific requirements.

Can I assign corrective actions to clients from the audit?

Yes. Findings can have actions raised against them with descriptions, priority levels and due dates. Those actions appear in the client portal alongside the audit report, where clients can track progress.

Can I conduct audits from my phone while on site?

Yes. Lytom Assess is available on iOS and as a web app. You can work through the audit checklist, add photographic evidence and record findings while walking the site.

Can I reuse the same audit template across multiple clients?

Yes. Any template you create is saved to your workspace and can be applied to any client site, keeping your audits consistent while still allowing site-specific adjustments.

Does the audit report carry my consultancy branding?

Yes. Audit reports use your consultancy's logo, cover design and colour scheme. The client receives a professional PDF branded to your practice, not to the software.
