Safety audit

Some sections of the audit may be answered beforehand on basic information

supplied by local management. The audit team will obtain the remainder of

the information by personal observation, inspection of records and discussion

with workers in the area. It should also be verified that laid down procedures

and standards are being followed and that people are aware of emergency

procedures.

It is possible that unsafe practices and conditions may be revealed which

require immediate attention, and the audit team should initiate remedial action

by local management. They should be recorded on the audit report.
