Five Star Occupational Health and Safety Audit

Provides a quantified outcome with detailed recommendations against a contemporary best practice specification (including the requirements of ISO 45001) over and above current OHSMS standard requirements.

The audit specification model includes six best practice indicators which are continually assessed throughout the audit process:

• Leadership
• Stakeholder engagement
• Risk management
• Organisational health and safety culture
• Continual improvement
• Wellbeing.

The audit goes far beyond the requirements of current health and safety management systems such as ISO 45001. Undertaking this audit allows you to demonstrate your commitment to achieving excellence in health and safety standards to your employees, clients and other stakeholders.

We have now launched our 2021 specification.
