Compliance with WHS Act and Regulations
The goal of a Workplace Occupational Health and Safety Compliance and Gap Analysis is to evaluate an organisation’s current WHS policies, procedures, and practices to ensure compliance with the WHS Act and Regulations.
During such a Work Health & Safety audit we will identify any areas where the organisation is not in compliance with WHS requirements, as well as any gaps in the organisation’s WHS management systems relevant to business operations.
This process can provide valuable insights into an organisation’s WHS performance and can help identify areas where improvements are needed. Even small improvements to a company’s WHS management can help to minimize the risk of workplace accidents and worker injuries, reduce legal liability, and improve overall workplace safety.
Additionally, the process can assist companies to stay updated with the relevant WHS Act and Regulations and make necessary changes to comply with them.
