HEALTH & SAFETY AUDIT

JRL Solutions Ltd carries out audits on the health and safety management systems of organisations to help them meet their obligations in health and safety.

Audit is used to determine the effectiveness of each of the elements of the health and safety management
system by making evidence-based judgements using observation, discussion, study of documentation,
measurement and possibly photographic record.

Audit makes judgements about the following elements:-

• policy
• organisation
• planning and implementing
• measuring performance
• reviewing performance

Audit is independent, systemmatic, comprehensive, and importantly, based on secure evidence. JRL Solutions
Ltd has developed systems which enable it to identify which issues are important, the priorities for the
organisation and to tailor the audit accordingly.

JRL Solutions Ltd determine whether the declared intentions of an organisation, through its health and safety policy, fit its practice. It identifies both strengths and weaknesses in an organisation's health and safety management. Judgements are only made where the evidence supports them. JRL Solutions Ltd is thorough in its approach and the final report can be relied on to provide a clear picture of how effectively the organisation is managing health and safety.

Evidence is collected by observational sampling methods, discussion and interview with key staff and a study of all relevant documentation. Evidence is presented in a comprehensive report tailored for the organisation using JRL Solutions Ltd established methodology and format.

The audit will enable an organisation to benchmark itself against sector standards and its competitors. It is a
useful way of demonstrating commitment to clients, suppliers, employees and shareholders and thereby raises
their confidence. It may lead to greater market opportunity, can result in greater profitabiity and may reduce business costs.

Audits carried out by JRL Solutions Ltd can be used by organisations to gain accreditation in health and safety management systems such as OSHAS 18001.
