A useful tool to benchmark and ultimately improve your internal safety operations is a Safety Management Audit.

What is included in a safety management audit?

A safety management audit has a wider scope than a traditional safety inspection, and although addressing hazards and risk controls, it also looks at organizational structures, planning activities, responsibilities, implemented procedures, review cycles and measurement and evaluation issues.

A basic safety management system has some of the following characteristics:
  • Existence of a health and safety policy that is communicated to staff
  • Management commitment
  • Allocation of responsibilities and accountability for health and safety matters
  • Controls for suppliers, sub-contractors and purchasing
  • Health and safety consultation
  • Hazard identification, evaluation and control
  • Provision of information and training of staff
  • Incident recording, investigation, analysis and review
  • Measuring and evaluating workplace health and safety performance.

Many organizations who truly want to improve their overall safe performance undertake these audits on a periodic basis to benchmark the performance and to plan for continuous improvement.
