Audit & Inspection Software

A safety audit and inspection collects information and provides an assessment on the efficiency of your health and safety practices and suggests corrective action.

Audits can present challenges for organisations. Issues such as duplication of data, keeping track of audit completion and performing audits in the field mean that accurate audit data cannot be collected. More importantly, it can lead to increased risks for employees.

The Audit Module ensures that your audits are completed when and where they should be.

- Users can send completed audits and inspections through an approval process, providing traceability at every stage
- The User Guidance information and additional space lets users provide more details and flesh-out their responses
- Actions and notifications allow you to escalate an audit if it is not completed

Union-appointed safety representatives can inspect the workplace. They have to give notice in writing when they intend to carry out a formal audit of the workplace, and have not inspected it in the previous three months. If there is substantial change in conditions of work or HSE publishes new information on hazards, the representatives are entitled to carry out inspections before three months have elapsed, or if it is by agreement.

The frequency of inspections will depend on the nature of the work. Audits may be less often, for example, if the work environment is low risk like in a predominantly administrative office. But if there are certain areas of a workplace or specific activities that are high risk or changing rapidly, more frequent audits may be justified, for example on a construction project.
 

Safety audit and inspection software ensures compliance of processes in health and safety for businesses. Software for audits and inspections adopts a paperless approach which helps eliminate duplication of data. With a system that has mobile capabilities, your audits can be completed on-the-go, online or offline. This enables that audits are created when and where they should be.

Construction safety inspection software makes it much easier to carry out construction inspections. Generating a building inspection report can be worked with effortlessly with a software system onsite. This plays an important role in ensuring safety initiatives are followed.

First of all, it’s important for your team to agree on the best safety audit methods for your workplace. There is a number ways audits can be carried out:

1. Safety tours – general audits of the workplace.

2. Safety sampling – sampling of specific dangerous activities, processes or areas.

3. Safety surveys – general audits of particular dangerous activities, processes or areas.

4. Incident inspections – these would generally occur post-accident causing death, injury, or near miss, which could have resulted in an injury.
