Table of Contents
Would you hire a junior firm to audit your accounts?
Do you want a tick audit or real added value for your business?
Do you care about your people going home safe and sound every day?
The OSH audit is not just a check-mark tool. It is a critical document that provides an analysis of how your business is doing.
Any auditor, from any field, should approach your business with professional scepticism.
What is an OHS audit?
An experienced and qualified health and safety auditor will attend to your business and assess you against a predetermined ‘standard’ or ‘system’ for health and safety management.
There are many different types of health and safety management systems that can be audited.
Some of these health and safety management systems have to be paid for. An example of a paid OSH management system is IS0 45001. This standard is internationally recognized and was recently implemented after the previous OSH management system, OHSAS 18001.
A freely available health and safety management system is HSG 65. This is available completely free of charge on the HSE website.
