WHS / OHS Audits – A professional review of your safety culture and systems
Understand your organisation’s safety culture and performance, areas of strength and areas that need improvement by having an expert WHS assessment of your business.
Professional WHS / OHS Audits to benchmark your firm against global best practices
BWC Safety will conduct a thorough review of the safety culture, safety systems and safety performance of your organisation, identifying areas that are working well and those that need improvement. We will assess your safety practices and the effectiveness of your safety governance against the requirements of WHS legislation (NSW, VIC) and benchmark your firm against global best practices.
What the safety audit includes:
- Confidential 1:1 interviews with a representative cross section of staff
- An online safety culture survey across the whole organisation
- A review of the Safety Management System against the ISO 45001 standard
- Onsite observations of work practices
- A report and a presentation back to the senior executive and/or board
Why you need a WHS / OHS Audit and Safety System Review
Meet the requirements of the WHS Act and Regulations
Court transcripts are full of examples of organisations who thought they had safety under control, only to discover after a serious incident that their safety culture and safety systems did not meet the requirements of the WHS Act and Regulations.
Avoid huge fines and legal battles
With the recent introduction of Industrial Manslaughter legislation, Directors and Senior Executives are now exposed to not only huge fines, but potential prison sentences. At time of writing, two executives had received prison sentences in Australia under the new laws.
Receive ‘frank and fearless safety advice’
BWC Safety have some of the world’s most experienced safety consultants that regularly provide Board Members and Senior executives with ‘frank and fearless advice’ around their safety systems and safety culture.
Receive an action list & recommendations
At the completion of our review we will provide a report which highlights the areas that must be fixed as a priority, along with recommendations on how to improve. Also, if required, we can assist you to address those issues.
How the safety assessment works
The safety review uses several overlapping methods to ensure accuracy:
Confidential 1:1 interviews with a representative cross section of staff that aim to identify staff views on how well safety is managed and other potential issues.
An online safety culture survey across the whole organisation
Assessment of the organisation’s position against the 18 globally recognised safety culture characteristics.
A review of the Safety Management System against the ISO 45001 standard
A report and a presentation back to the senior executive and/or board
