Frequently asked questions

What is a workplace safety audit?

A workplace safety audit is a systematic evaluation of workplace conditions against safety standards to identify hazards and areas for improvement.

How is a safety audit different from a risk assessment?

A risk assessment identifies hazards and evaluates risks. A safety audit verifies whether safety controls and procedures are actually in place and followed.

How often should workplace safety audits be done?

Most safety management systems require annual audits at minimum, with internal inspections more frequently.

Who can conduct a workplace safety audit?

Audits should be conducted by a qualified WHS officer, external safety consultant, or trained internal auditor.

Does this template cover all industries?

This is a general workplace template. Industry-specific hazards (chemical, mining, food production) may require additional sections.
