Workplace Health & Safety Audit
Know Where You Stand. Know Where to Go.
You can’t build a stronger safety culture without first understanding where you are. A Workplace Safety Audit from AWARE-NS provides an objective, comprehensive assessment of your organization’s health and safety management system – giving leaders and managers the clarity they need to make informed, strategic decisions about safety investments and improvements.
Conducted by our experienced Occupational Health and Safety Advisors, the AWARE-NS audit goes beyond a simple checklist. It’s a rigorous, evidence-based process that benchmarks your current performance, identifies gaps and opportunities, and delivers a clear roadmap for continuous improvement. For many organizations, the audit is the starting point for a broader journey – one that leads to a stronger Safety Management System, a more engaged workforce, and a workplace where safety is genuinely lived, not just documented.
Program Overview
Scope and Engagement
The AWARE-NS audit instrument is structured around 24 key elements spanning every dimension of an effective health and safety management system. Each element is evaluated and scored based on the auditor’s findings - providing a clear, measurable picture of organizational performance across the board.
To ensure accuracy and depth, each element is assessed through a combination of staff interviews and comprehensive reviews of relevant documentation. This two-pronged approach ensures that findings reflect not just what is written in policy, but what is actually happening on the ground.
At the conclusion of the process, organizations receive a detailed audit report that establishes a performance benchmark and outlines prioritized recommendations for improvement. But our commitment doesn’t end there. Unlike a traditional audit where findings are delivered and the relationship stops, AWARE-NS advisors remain actively involved after the report is in your hands - ready to walk you through the results, help you understand your priorities, and guide your organization through the steps needed to turn opportunities into real, lasting improvements.
Whether your organization is building a Safety Management System from scratch, strengthening an existing one, or simply looking for an honest assessment of where things stand - the AWARE-NS Workplace Safety Audit gives you the foundation to move forward with confidence, and the support to actually get there.
