Safety Audits

The purpose of a safety audit is to review administrative and operational safety issues in the workplace, and covers worker, front-line supervision and senior management perspectives. It is important to recognize that safety audits provide very positive inputs to workplace safety, where the object is to identify areas where safety could be improved rather than place blame.

Companies receive a confidential written report as part of the audit, with recommendations focused on preventing accidents or incidents that may result in personal injury or property damage. Whether or not a safety program is in place, all employers may take advantage of these recommendations in avoiding potential problem areas before they become major and costly events.

Depending on the size of the company, safety audits can take from 1/2 to a full day, with a wide range of support available from the C6 Safety Association in implementing recommended safety related actions.
