Safety Auditing

Safety and Health have introduced safety auditing since September 2004.

The objective of the audit is to determine whether there are adequate and effective control measures in place within units to ensure that:

• The unit has a clear understanding of, and follows the University safety and health policy, and also promotes a positive safety and health culture.
• The unit has introduced planning processes, which identify objectives and set safety and health performance standards.
• The unit has identified and provided resources required for implementing, maintaining and improving safety and health.
• Performance standards in place are actively monitored and lessons learned are used to improve safety and health standards within the unit.
• The performance standards are understood and followed by all staff within the unit.

Furthermore the audit aims to assist managers in demonstrating due diligence and also to identifying areas of good practice that may be used elsewhere in the University.
