Audit services

What are audit services

A health and safety audit evaluates the effectiveness, reliability, and efficiency of an organization’s health and safety management system. This includes procedures, processes, and other measures that promote continuous improvement in workplace health and safety.

Our audit services provide clients with an independent and unbiased status check of their workplaces’ health and safety practices against health and safety requirements to ensure compliance and keep workers and workplaces happy, healthy, and safe.

As part of the audit process, we’ll review documents, perform a site observation, conduct interviews with managers and workers, and compile our findings into a detailed audit report.

How health and safety audits benefit clients and their workers

Organizations have a lot to gain from an expert health and safety audit, including:

• Determine health and safety status—audits provide insight into an organization’s compliance status with the workplace’s health and safety management system requirements and best practices.
• Reduce injuries and illnesses—successful audits can reduce or eliminate opportunities for injuries or illnesses, keeping workers safe and reducing missed days of work.
• Improve workplace health and safety—an audit will highlight areas of opportunity and provide a roadmap for the development of health and safety strategies to address them.
• Establish health and safety as a priority—regular audits demonstrate a commitment to health and safety, create opportunities for new initiatives, and send a message to workers that their health, safety, and wellbeing is a priority.
