Identify potential hazards and mitigate risk factors
Providing a safe and healthy workplace
A health and safety audit is a systematic review of your workplace or organisation's health and safety policies, procedures, and practices. It is conducted to identify potential hazards, assess risks, and ensure compliance with relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards. It is an important tool for ensuring that your organisation is providing a safe and healthy workplace for your employees, and complying with legal and regulatory requirements.
