Health and Safety Audits for SMEs
In addition to routine monitoring of occupational health and safety performance, there will be a need for periodic audits that enable a deeper and more critical appraisal of all the elements of the occupational health and safety management system. Audits should be conducted by persons who are competent and as independent as possible from the activity that is being audited, but may be drawn from within your company.
While audits need to be thorough, their approach should be tailored to the size of the company and the nature of its hazards.
At different times and for different reasons, audits will need to cover the following questions:
Audits can be comprehensive or address selected topics according to circumstance. The results of audits should be communicated to all relevant personnel and corrective action taken as required.
