• The time onsite can vary between 2 and 5 hours

• Access to a senior person in charge, all locations within the building and your existing safety documentation will be required

In addition to examining the safety management system, the audit will also examine other key subject areas to check compliance with Health, Safety and Welfare legislation and Organisational Policies. Typical examples of the subject areas covered by the audit are:
