Safety Assesment

- Identify strengths and weaknesses in your safety procedures.
- Assess whether your safety procedures are legally compliant.
- Compare current documentation and practices against best practice and legal obligations.
- Recommend improvements in your safety procedures.
- Ensure that there adequate resources available to manage OHS.
- Ensure that the resources devoted to health and safety are being utilized effectively.
