Each year thousands of people are seriously injured at work due to workplace accidents. Some never return home, victims of tragic accidents. These accidents may forever change the individual injured, their families, and the businesses they work for. Many of these accidents could be prevented had a thorough health and safety audit been performed and the appropriate follow-up action taken. Health and safety auditing is an important tool that can identify flaws in a company's written programs and physical conditions that could that could lead to serious accidents, and/or identify issues with employee behaviors that could result in injuries. Because of its ability to prevent serious accidents and injuries, health and safety auditing should be an integral part of any company's health and safety program.
