The distance between practice and requirement, measured.
Approached as an assessment, gap analysis establishes the current state of safety practice and compares it against required expectations — producing a measured position rather than an opinion.
Where an audit examines whether arrangements work as intended, gap analysis measures how far current practice sits from what is required, including EHS legal requirements.
The same analysis is offered within Consultancy, where it is used to plan an improvement programme. Arriving through Audits & Inspections, the emphasis is on establishing and evidencing the position; the underlying method is the same.
