Audit

Occupational health and safety requires multi-level monitoring to continuously verify that prevention and protection measures are always properly implemented and effective.

Inspection, audit and monitoring activities are key elements in ensuring a safe working environment that complies with occupational health and safety regulations and in preventing occupational injuries and illnesses.

Inspection includes periodic inspections, a technical audit to ensure that machinery is safe and properly maintained, and analysis of working conditions (e.g., ergonomics).

Audits are usually carried out through document reviews (e.g., on the Risk Assessment Document (DVR), plant maintenance records, etc.) and verifications of compliance with laws.

Monitoring, on the other hand, is an ongoing process aimed at assessing the effectiveness of the measures taken and identifying any areas for improvement.
