Safety Program Audits
Let us look under the hood of your safety programs…..
When audits are performed by in-house personnel, often little time is allocated to perform the audit adequately and there can be hesitance to identify issues or raise concerns. This function is best performed by a third party to alleviate the extra responsibility of conducting the audits and ensuring that potential safety issues are properly identified and documented.
