When you think of the word “audit” you may bristle, envisioning IRS agents barging through the door. But when it comes to safety and health, an audit is a proactive tool that lets you know if what you’re doing is achieving the desired results.
Audits are a means to monitor safety and health performance, as well as compliance with OSHA and other regulatory standards. Information gained from an audit can help you identify and correct hazards before they cause accidents or illnesses; feel confident that your company will fare well if OSHA conducts its own inspection; and reduce exposure to liability and litigation.
In addition, internal audits can improve communications between management and labor, resulting in a safer, healthier workplace. Safety.BLR.com provides you with the resources to help beef up your hazard communication efforts and make sure your employees understand how to use labels and MSDSs, what types of exposures they need to watch for, and what general tips to follow regarding chemical safety.
