Safety audits are a critical part of maintaining a safe and compliant workplace. They involve a systematic review of an organisation’s health and safety practices to ensure they meet regulatory requirements and industry standards. In this blog, we’ll explore the importance of safety audits and how icTc’s audit services can help your organisation stay compliant.

What is a Safety Audit?

A safety audit is a comprehensive evaluation of an organisation’s health and safety systems, policies, and procedures. It assesses the effectiveness of existing controls and identifies areas for improvement. Audits can be internal, conducted by the company itself, or external, performed by an independent third party like icTc.
