Dear Unit Heads,
Dear COSEC,
To obtain as complete a picture as possible of safety conditions within units, the OHS team is evolving its approach to audits.
Announced and unannounced audits will continue to be part of our audit program. These two formats are complementary, allowing the OHS team both to engage with those responsible for safety and to observe premises and activities in different situations.
New: Complementary audits :
The OHS team may now also carry out complementary audits, regardless of whether the main audit was announced or unannounced.
These visits will provide an opportunity to observe ongoing activities and normal working conditions, complementing the information gathered during the main audit and providing a broader picture of safety within the unit.
Complementary audits will not be systematic. OHS will determine whether such a visit is appropriate based on the situation and the observations made during the main audit.
By combining announced audits, unannounced audits and, where appropriate, complementary audits, we aim to better reflect actual working conditions within the units. Our goal is to ensure that audits remain an effective prevention tool, helping us identify risks, prevent accidents, and protect the health of everyone working within the units.
Best regards,
Your OHS team
