Every organization in its own right tries to implement procedures aimed at efficient management and maintenance of its operations, while also ensuring security and safety at the workplace. However, understanding and executing processes at every level with compliance to quality management systems make the operations much more efficient.
A safety audit is a structured procedure that helps the companies evaluate their activities and identify how certain aspects are impacting the safety and health of the people at a workplace.
Safety audits are not the same as safety inspection as the latter just evaluates if the safety programs are meeting the organization’s goals. Safety audits are a periodical examination of a company’s activities, looking at risks, hazards, and other issues that might prevent the enterprise from operating safely.
