Health and Safety Audit - Safety Audits
The setting of standards and the implementation of safe systems of work and procedures are vital but so is the establishment of effective systems of safety auditing or monitoring.
It is important to remember that a record of a health and safety audit may be needed to prove compliance with the requirements of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, and must therefore be deemed adequate and credible
