How health & safety audits protect your business
As a small business owner or employer, you know that health & safety compliance is critical to the success of your business. A hazard-free workplace not only keeps your employees and customers safe, but also protects your business from huge fines, closure, and prosecution for violating health & safety laws.
While health & safety inspections in the workplace are essential to reducing risks and hazards, safety audits that review the effectiveness of your health & safety programs and processes – are just as important. Regular risk assessments, inspections, and safety audits ensure employers fulfill their legal obligation of providing a safe workplace for their staff.

Frequently asked questions about workplace health & safety
01
What is the difference between safety inspection and safety audit?
The purpose of a health & safety inspection in the workplace is to identify and control risky processes and hazards that might lead to accidents and injuries.
Workplace health & safety audits, on the other hand, review the health & safety system in a workplace – health & safety programs, internal inspections, injury reporting, and other processes to ensure your business is compliant with provincial health & safety legislation.
02
What is the purpose of safety audits?
Workplace health & safety audits help in improving your health & safety system and processes. They help identify any shortcomings or gaps in your health & safety programs, staff training, and safety management procedures. Regular health & safety audits help employers gauge whether their health & safety program is compliant with provincial health & safety regulations.
03
Why are workplace inspections done?
Workplace inspections are a useful tool to regulate health & safety in the workplace and prevent accidents and injuries. Regular inspections help employers identify hazards and risks and put appropriate safety controls in place. If conducted properly and regularly, inspections can prevent unsafe working conditions from developing in the first place.
Besides regular inspections, employers must also inspect the workplace after an incident or when adding a new work process or equipment.
