Many business owners assume that since “nothing has happened for years”, everything in the area of occupational health and safety is fine. The problem is that the absence of accidents does not always mean the absence of hazards. Often, it is only an inspection, an accident at work or an employee complaint that reveals missing up-to-date training, risk assessment, workstation instructions, proper documentation or proper work organization.

An OHS audit allows you to check whether the company actually meets legal requirements and whether employees perform their duties in safe conditions. It is not an inspection “for the sake of inspection”, but a practical tool that helps identify irregularities, organize documentation and reduce the risk of penalties, downtime and employer liability.

During the audit, we analyze both documents and actual working conditions in the company. We check whether OHS obligations are carried out in accordance with regulations, whether employees have the required training, whether workstations are properly prepared, and whether hazards have been correctly assessed. After completing the audit, we indicate specific irregularities and recommend corrective actions.

The scope of our service includes:

• Verification of OHS documentation – we check whether the company has the required documents, such as occupational risk assessment, OHS instructions, registers, records, procedures and training documentation.
• Checking the validity of OHS training – we analyze whether employees, management staff and the employer have valid initial and periodic training, in accordance with the requirements for a given position.
• Checking occupational risk assessment – we verify whether the risk assessment has been prepared for all positions, whether it corresponds to actual working conditions and whether it has been properly made available to employees.
• Assessment of working conditions at workstations – we check workstation organization, the use of personal protective equipment, signage, order, traffic routes and compliance with safety rules.
• Analysis of workstation instructions and procedures – we assess whether OHS instructions are complete, up to date, understandable for employees and adapted to the activities actually performed.
• Inspection of equipment and protective measures – we check whether employees are provided with appropriate personal protective equipment, workwear and equipment required for a given position.
• Verification of the company’s readiness for inspection – we assess whether the company is ready for a visit by the National Labour Inspectorate, the Sanitary Inspectorate, the Office of Technical Inspection or other inspection authorities.
• OHS audit report – after completing the work, we prepare a summary containing the identified irregularities, risk assessment and recommendations for corrective actions.

A properly conducted OHS audit allows you to look at the company through the eyes of an inspector before a real problem appears. This gives the entrepreneur clear information on what needs to be improved, which documents need to be completed and what actions should be implemented in order to increase employee safety and protect the company from the consequences of negligence.

An OHS audit is an investment in peace of mind, safety and the stability of your business.
