Audits & Inspections — FAQs
How often should a workplace be audited?
It depends on the size, risk profile and regulatory obligations of your organisation — many workplaces benefit from quarterly audits, while higher-risk environments may warrant monthly visits. We will recommend a schedule that fits your operations during the initial consultation.
What happens after an audit identifies findings?
You receive a written report with each finding, its risk rating, and a recommended corrective action with a suggested timeframe. We can return for a follow-up audit to verify that corrective actions have been completed and closed out.
Can audits be unannounced?
Yes — many clients choose a mix of scheduled and unannounced audits to get an accurate picture of day-to-day compliance, not just compliance on the day a visit is expected.
