What is a Health and Safety Audit?

A health and safety audit is a systematic and documented process of evaluating your organization’s health and safety management system. It goes beyond a simple inspection by examining policies, procedures, and practices to determine their effectiveness in preventing accidents and ill health.

While an inspection focuses on identifying hazards, an audit takes a broader view, assessing the underlying systems and processes that control those hazards.

The typical scope of an audit includes:

• Reviewing health and safety policies and procedures
• Assessing risk management practices
• Evaluating training programs and competency levels
• Inspecting workplace conditions and practices
• Examining accident and incident records
• Verifying compliance with legal requirements
