HEALTH AND SAFETY AUDITS
Why Audit?
Best Practice:
Companies with excellent occupational health and safety records have incorporated a system of continuous improvement in their health and safety programs. This process allows them to meet corporate standards that reflect best practices for their industry. Regular occupational health and safety audits are key to such performance.
Due Diligence:
In order to successfully establish due diligence as a legal defence in Canadian courts, accused firms must prove that programs aimed at preventing injuries and environmental hazards were in place, implemented, and operating effectively. A due diligence health and safety audit will contribute to improvements in the company's management performance and reduce legal liabilities.
Regulatory Compliance:
Health, safety, and environmental laws are regularly updated to reflect current knowledge and company operating conditions. Regulatory compliance is the minimum level of acceptable workplace health and safety. A compliance audit can help achieve such compliance.
SAFE-TEE MANAGEMENT has certified personnel with experience in the chemical, oil/gas processing, forest products, construction and manufacturing industries to complete full audits and inspections of any site. A follow-up report, complete with recommendations, is submitted and the option for follow-up services is available.
