Safety Audit

An OHS Audit of your Management System is good business practice to determine how robust your safety management system is and where gaps may be present. It is pertinent from a financial and operational perspective to understand how your organisation can improve their safety performance to mitigate loss through injury and illness and ensure legal compliance.

At Safety for Life our ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management System Audit services are conducted by a RABQSA accredited OHS Auditor. You can be guaranteed that your OHS Management System will be thoroughly assessed, and audit results are presented in a detailed Audit Report.

Occupational health and safety auditing is a term used to describe a wide range of assessments that are conducted for various purposes. Firstly, it may be to gain certification to a standard. Secondly, to demonstrate that the business has a system in place to assure clients that there is a high level of commitment to safety in the workplace and that the existing safety management system meets the requirements of ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems.

It is good management practice to develop a company safety management system on a known standard that provides a structure framework.

With any system, the only way to ensure that the management system and process is effective is to ensure that the conduct of the audit is undertaken in a structured way. All organisations should establish an internal audit program to evaluate the effectiveness of their procedures and processes used to meet WHS Legislation. The internal audit program is also recognised as best practice within ISO 45001:2018 OHS Management Systems. The internal audit program should be supported by senior management and consulted with the Safety Committee.

As there are a variety of audit standards and depending upon which audit your business is in need of, then the audit tool used will be dependent on the type of audit required.

Our professional Auditors will utilise the audit tool of your choice. Should auditing of your OHS Management Systems be new to the business then we can assist you to establish an internal audit schedule and provide advice on training options so that the business can self manage internal audits.
