This
Safety Audit and Site Inspection
training course will provide you with all the necessary skills and talents
required to successfully audit and inspect an organisation's health and safety
performances. All Safety Management Systems (SMS) require a systematic and
thorough assessment of how well and efficient and effective the various parts
are working. It will develop the ability to examine an SMS critically and
enable to identify strengths, weaknesses, and suggest measures for improvement.

you do not measure you cannot improve." The actual performance must match

risks and promote an effective and robust management system.

and inspections provide the practical means through which this can be
achieved.
