What is a Health and Safety Audit?
A Health and Safety Audit is a proactive approach to risk management that allows organisations to identify potential hazards within the workplace. It involves a comprehensive review of the organisation’s health and safety policies, procedures, and practices, to promote a safe and healthy working environment for employees. Through the auditing process, an organisation can identify areas in need of improvement, rectify potential hazards, reduce the likelihood of accidents and near-misses, and ensure compliance with relevant health and safety legislation. The audit may be conducted internally or by an external party, and typically includes a review of documentation and records, physical inspections, and interviews with employees. Ultimately, the goal of a Health and Safety Audit is to safeguard employees from injury or illness, as well as to protect the organisation from the financial repercussions of workplace incidents and legal liabilities.
