Safety Audit is a process that evaluates the safety of a work environment to identify hazards and potential areas for improvement. The goal is to ensure that a company has effective programs in place to identify, eliminate, or control hazards that could impact its employees and assets. Safety audits can also help organizational leaders develop safety procedures for their teams. During a safety audit, a group of people collect data about a location’s operations, including: Business operations, Work environment, Equipment condition, and Worker behavior.
