A health and safety audit consists of a systematic and thorough examination of safety practices, procedures, and conditions within a manufacturing or industrial facility. The audit aims to assess the effectiveness of the existing health and safety management system, identify areas of improvement, and ensure compliance with relevant regulations and industry best practices.
During the audit, our experienced occupational hygienists and health and safety professionals evaluate various aspects of the manufacturing environment, including equipment safety, hazard identification and control, emergency response protocols, employee training, PPE usage, and overall safety culture. We conduct site inspections, review documentation and records, and analyze incident reports to gain a comprehensive understanding of the facility’s safety performance.
The audit findings are then compiled into a detailed report, highlighting strengths, weaknesses, and recommended actions to enhance safety. It serves as a roadmap for the manufacturing facility to implement corrective measures, improve safety practices, identify gaps in any required management plans, and prevent accidents or injuries. By conducting regular health and safety audits, manufacturing organizations can proactively identify and address potential hazards, promote a safe working environment, and continuously improve their safety performance.
