Inspection Instructions

  • Each issue of the Audit Checklist is considered and awarded an audit score.

    To ensure the audit system is implemented in an objective and consistent way, the following system is used and adhered to:

    Overall Audit Rating

    Each of the subsections of the Audit sheet will be totaled and a combined total will be achieved.

    This will be divided by the ‘possible total’ and the result multiplied by 100 to achieve a Total Percentage Rating for Site H&S Performance.

    - A percentage rating of 70% or less indicates that immediate action is required to improve safety performance and that an investigation by Site Managers may be necessary to determine and address the root causes of the weakness.

    - A percentage rating of between 71% and 80% indicates that there is a need for improvement in the very near future.

    - A percentage rating of between 81% and 90% indicates that the site has achieved an acceptable level of safety performance, but there is still room for improvement.

    - A percentage rating of 91% to 95% indicates that the site is operating at a high level of health and safety performance with only minor issues to be resolved.

    - A percentage rating of 96% or above indicates that the site is operating at a very high level of health and safety performance

    The scoring will be based on the following:
    - Best Practice = 10 points
    The Site is achieving the highest standards of H&S management and implementing ‘best practice’ initiatives where possible.

    - Good = 8 points
    Company and legislative requirements have been met, including ‘best practice’ standards where appropriate.

    - Reasonable = 6 points
    Only just enough has been done to comply with legislative requirements and company procedures. However, greater effort should be made in order to reduce the potential for accidents and incidents.

    - Improvement required = 4 points
    Not enough has been done to comply with legislative requirements or company procedures.

    - Serious = 2 points
    Serious failings requiring urgent improvement and to be actioned immediately.

    - Critical = 0 points
    The Auditor is of the opinion that there is a risk of imminent and serious danger to the H&S of employees, or non-employees, who may be affected by the undertakings and work must cease immediately. The details must be reported to the Site Manager and Relevant Director.
