INTRODUCTION:
You will acquire all the knowledge and abilities required to properly audit and inspect an organization’s health and safety performances after taking the Safety Audit and Site Inspection training course. A comprehensive and exhaustive evaluation of how well each component of a Safety Management System (SMS) is functioning is necessary. It will help you gain the capacity to analyze SMSs critically, find their merits and faults, and recommend ways to make them better.
“You cannot improve what you do not measure.” The safety management system’s documents and procedures are useless if their actual performance does not correspond to their stated objectives. The final pieces of the health and safety management jigsaw are provided by safety audits and site inspections, which, when used properly, allow an organization to regulate health and safety hazards and develop a reliable and effective management system.
The practical instruments for doing this are provided by well-structured audits and inspections. Successful organizations are constantly looking to improve.
