Five Star Occupational Health & Safety Audit

The most comprehensive, contemporary, quantified audit process available, which allows you to test your health and safety performance against the latest legislation, recognised standards and best practice techniques.

What is it?

Provides a quantified outcome with detailed recommendations against a contemporary best practice specification (including the requirements of ISO 45001) over and above current OHSMS standard requirements.

The audit specification model includes five best practice indicators which are continually assessed throughout the audit process:

  • Leadership and commitment
  • Stakeholder participation
  • Risk management
  • Organisational health and safety culture
  • Continual improvement.

The audit goes far beyond the requirements of current health and safety management systems such as ISO 45001. Undertaking this audit allows you to demonstrate your commitment to achieving excellence in health and safety standards to your employees, clients and other stakeholders.
