High-risk Operations Safety Audit, our latest offering, is one of these initiatives. It is an in-depth audit of situations that could potentially cause serious injuries and harm to people and property and assists organisations to focus on these activities. The audit actively looks at high-risk activities such as working at height, confined space entry, lifting operations, ground excavation, electrical safety, fire safety management, contractor safety and specific areas like molten metal. In addition, leadership commitment and accountability, risk assessment and management and permit to work are also reviewed in detail. There is a good level of interaction with client staff, site rounds and review of documentation.

What is it?

It is an in-depth audit of situations or high-risk activities that could potentially cause serious injury and harm to people and property and assists you to focus on these activities.

Our approach

The audit is a deep dive into the controls of hazardous activities and the effectiveness of existing safety initiatives related to the prevention of serious injuries. The audit is a quantified, customised approach, that benchmarks the organisation’s current level of safety performance concerning the high-risk activities, against global best practice. A suitable and customised approach is then created in an audit report form, that meets the organisation's requirements. The findings from the audit will give the organisation visibility of where they stand in terms of high-risk activities, identifying opportunities for improvement. This is then followed by consultancy that will help strengthen the areas that require attention through recommendations, knowledge sharing and training.

High-risk activities include

  • Working at heights
  • Confined space entry
  • Lifting operations
