Safety Auditing, Hazard Identification and Site Inspection: Safety Inspector Qualification Course
Introduction:
HSE Management System auditing entails an independent evaluation conducted by an organization to examine and assess its operations. The primary goal of HSE auditing is to provide management with valuable information to support decision-making and aid the organization's members in fulfilling their responsibilities effectively.
Through HSE auditing, the organization receives analyses, assessments, recommendations, guidance, and information pertaining to the activities under review. These audits assess the adequacy and effectiveness of the organization's HSE control system and evaluate the quality of performance. The format and level of detail of the information provided to different members of the organization may vary, depending on the specific requirements and requests of the individuals commissioning the audit(s).
