Benefits of Safety Audit
|
|
|
A safety audit uncovers
unsafe conditions and poor work practices, which are the principal causes of
accidents. Thus, the safety audit process can reduce illnesses and injuries,
and associated medical, insurance, and litigation costs.
In addition to improving the safety and health of employees, the audit process can also improve business operations. It can maintain, and in some instances, increase productivity, by reducing interruptions caused by accidents. It identifies conditions where machinery, equipment, or tools need repair or replacement, thus increasing the efficiency of the business operation. The bottom line is that an effective safety audit contributes to improved quality, productivity, performance, and profitability of a business. Another added advantage in carrying out a health and safety audit is that it will enable an Organization to satisfy itself that the company’s own Health and Safety Policy and associated documents are being implemented properly. The findings from the audit will be detailed in a report which will offer advice and guidance on actions necessary to enable the company to fully comply with health & safety regulations and best industry practice. In addition we will review structure and methods of operation, and survey the workplace internally, externally and site operations, to identify hazards, effectiveness of existing control measures, unsafe acts or conditions, and non-compliance with Regulations, poor individual safety awareness.
Our audits have proved
extremely useful to the Organizations to introduce an active OHSAS 18001:2007
or OHSMS
