Audit

A WHS audit or Safety Gap Analysis is a proactive approach to ensure your safety management system is effective and complying with WHS regulations. It also emphasises to colleagues that they work in an environment which wants to promote safety as one of its core values.


Workplace auditing can cover a wide range of assessments designed to identify strengths and opportunities for improvement. Our workplace auditors can identify key areas that may need immediate attention and work with you to implement health and safety improvement plans and initiatives.


A Safety Gap Analysis / Audit may be conducted against the following standards:

• AS/NZS 4801 – Occupational Health and Safety Management System
• OHSAS 18001 – Occupational Health and Safety Management System
• ISO 14001 – Environmental Management System
• ISO 9001 – Quality Management System
• Integrated Management System
• Self-Insurance Audits

This starts with a desktop audit of your business, supported by workplace inspections The outcome of these services will offer a compliance gap-analysis of your systems and how to prepare for the future Whether you are small, medium or large WSA will systematically look at where you are and where you should be aiming for; this is also known as a health and safety management system review.


Safety Gap Analysis / Audits are conducted in accordance with appropriate Legislative and Industry best practice requirements. In addition to the interviewing of workers, the facility, equipment, conditions and controls, we review and evaluate existing documentation, and management philosophy and practices to determine degree of compliance and performance.

We make sure to communicate any deficiencies identified as well as Opportunities for Improvement, to the appropriate Management and Health and Safety representatives and document the process for your due diligence records.


If AS/NZS 4801 certification is your goal, WSA will assist you to develop the documentation, policies, procedures, forms, and other relevant materials and provide training, to demonstrate that your organisation has a robust health and safety program which will prepare you for successful certification of the system under AS/NZS 4801.
