OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY AUDIT
To prevent work-related injuries and ill health among the workforce and to provide a safe and healthy workplace are the intended outcomes of the OH&S management system. The objective of an OH&S audit is to identify deficiencies and inaccuracies in the organisation’s health and safety management system in accordance with the compliance with set guidelines and standards. Conducting an OH&S audit ensures that the organisation identifies and manages the health and safety risks to its employees and others. It is known that the majority of accidents are caused by failure to carry out risk assessment or a lack of effective risk assessment. The OH&S audit helps organisations to avoid accidents and ill health by continual improvement of the health and safety management system.
