Introduction
All Safety Management Systems (SMS) require a
systematic organised, thorough, and competent assessment of how well efficient
and effective the systems are working. The Safety systems must not only reflect
the aspirations of the Company but also be in line with the National
Legislative requirements.
A competent Auditor will be able to critically
examine the SMS and identify weakness and suggest improvements where necessary.
A safety audit is a systematic critical examination of an organisation’s health
and safety, involving a structured process including the use of questions and
the examination of documentation, to collect independent information with the
aim of assessing the effectiveness and reliability of the system.
Workplace Inspections are undertaken by supervisors
and involve the physical inspection of equipment and activities of a workplace
looking both for unsafe conditions and unsafe acts. The results of Inspections
result in short reports of findings made and suggestions for improvements.
