General Audits

Our Health and Safety Systems Audit is a comprehensive and unique evaluation system that moves beyond traditional audits to focus on leading indicators within your health and safety system - activities and conditions that exist in your workplace affecting the overall success of your health and safety record. To be successful in our health and safety outcomes, we need to know which activities and programs contribute to that success. This fresh approach sets this tool apart and ensures best practices applied to industry leaders are shared by all. The system audit report will be available for presentation within one calendar month of the audit taking place. Three to four days are required for conducting the system audit with pricing based on size of firm.

Our Legislative Compliance Audit evaluates adherence to health and safety legislation under Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act and Regulations. Compliance to existing legislation must be in place for an organization to build and integrate health and safety into its daily activities. This audit includes the evaluation of over 30 elements tied specifically to legislation as well as a physical conditions inspection. Record reviews and interviews form part of the process for conducting a Legislative Compliance Audit. For most operations this audit is conducted within one day. Accompanying the final report is a detailed reference manual.

Lockout and guarding hazards are common hazards in many workplaces, with devastating consequences if the hazards are not eliminated or controlled. Lockout and guarding audits combine a document review, site observation and interviews to evaluate the company’s lockout and guarding program, identify gaps and recommend solutions.
