What is a Workplace Safety & Risk Audit?

A workplace safety and risk audit is a systematic review of an organisation’s risk management, critical controls, safety, and compliance practices to ensure they are effective, legally compliant, and aligned with industry best practices. Audits are essential for identifying gaps, weaknesses, and areas for improvement in safety management systems, critical control verification, and operational risk management.

​

An effective audit goes beyond a simple compliance check - it provides actionable insights to strengthen safety culture, reduce incidents, and improve business resilience. Whether it’s reviewing critical controls, incident investigations, or regulatory compliance, an audit provides assurance that safety systems are functioning as intended.
