Workplace safety auditing doesn’t just ensure compliance with the various Acts and regulations under the WH&S law - it ensures that employees are kept safe, healthy, injury-free and productive.
Outsource Safety has over 25 years’ experience providing strategic commercial risk management services to a diverse range of industries - minimising occupational health and safety risks in the workplace and maximizing productivity.
Why Audit?
Independent safety auditing can thoroughly and systematically:
-
Identify existing hazards
-
Identify potential hazards - before they have the chance to become dangerous
-
Assist in developing risk reduction plans that can be practically implemented
A Legal, Ethical and Financial Obligation
From a business perspective, safety auditing is a crucial business process.
Identification of hazards and planning:
-
Reduces legal risk - you can avoid the costs and penalties associated with non-compliance, or worse, the issues resulting from the occurrence of an accident
-
Is ethical - as employers, there is a moral obligation to keep workers safe and healthy as far as is practicable
-
Maintains productivity - injured or ill workers are unable to be productive, and the downtime associated with accidents can be extremely costly
Benefits of External Safety Auditing
Although employees are most familiar with the layout and equipment used in their workplace, an independent viewpoint is important in order to ensure a truly comprehensive assessment.
