Audit

Auditing is a critical, and often overlooked, aspect to achieving best operating practises and fulfilling Duty of Care obligations.

Systems audits are used to determine the existence, validity and effectiveness of the management system, targeting all aspects of safety, health, environment and quality. The system must be clearly defined, communicated and understood, and that it is being consistently applied throughout the organisation.

Operations/Technical audits confirm operating procedures are in place and being implemented, and whether plant and equipment are in compliance with technical standards and specifications.

An Integrated audit will identify common elements and be able to address all components simultaneously. This can save typically 40% effort
when compared to discrete audits.
