Auditing Health and Safety Management Systems
- Share to:
SafetyMAP (Safety Management Achievement Program) is an audit tool that provides the means to undertake an independent audit and review of an organization’s health and safety management system. This helps to establish safer working environments that will protect people at work by eliminating, or better managing, health and safety hazards. This is consistent with the requirements of health and safety legislation.
The audit criteria within SafetyMAP enable an organization to:
• measure the performance of its health and safety program; • implement a cycle of continual improvement; • compare its health and safety system to a recognized benchmark; and • gain recognition for the standards achieved by its management of health and safety.
The audit criteria describe features one might observe in a robust health and safety management system. However an organization may not require all of these features to have an effective health and safety management system. The system components should be based on organizational needs, circumstances and risk exposure, not an audit tool.
The audit criteria are set out in Part 2 which also contains introductory and guidance information for each section.
