The Occupational Health audit process requires active participation from HR, medical and safety professionals associated with the organization concerned. The audit process should include a conducted walkabout survey of the workplace, examining all aspects of the process and highlighting any known health risks.
It will also include a review of data concerning health risk assessments, Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) data, sickness absence, claims, enforcement action and any other associated health issues.
