Information

  • The intent of a Layered Audit is to perform a “deep dive” into the topic being analysed and is designed to, review standards and controls and confirm their application in the field, identify system issues and opportunities and to recognise and reinforce positive performance in specific components of our HSE processes by modelling behaviour and setting expectations.

  • You will need to plan your audit (usually through a brief ‘pre planning’ meeting) by extracting relevant documentation and revise. You may also need to plan and arrange access to relevant people (e.g. Operators, Supervisors etc) and also potentially access to parts of the operations. To minimise potential disruption to the operation, it is recommended to plan for and make arrangements as early as possible.
