Safer with Ark HSG65/OHSAS 18001 Audits

The HSG65 or OHSAS 18001 Audit is a qualitative and quantitative means of assessing your organisation’s management of health & safety. It is designed to provide an overview of the position of your company with regard to its health & safety management performance.
Regulation 5 of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 places a duty upon senior management to ensure that adequate health & safety arrangements, i.e. management systems, are in place for the effective planning, controlling, monitoring and reviewing of health & safety within the organisation.
The audit is designed to provide you with a health & safety solution using the Health and Safety Executive’s guidance document “Successful Health and Safety Management” (HSG65) or BSi’s OHSAS 18001 specification.
With a format and layout designed exclusively by Ark, the audit is based on question sets that measure your organisation’s performance against the guides and specifications.

Ensuring effective management of H&S

Recommendations and solutions with enable you to ensure that health & safety is being managed effectively.
With Ark you get a detailed audit structured around five key areas which should be included within any successful health & safety management system:

  • Health & safety policy
  • Organisation
  • Planning and implementing
  • Measuring performance
  • Auditing and reviewing performance

Using Ark’s quantitative scoring system you can see for each of the five sections how you can prioritise and manage the health & safety issues.
You can also use the scoring system as a benchmark score to be achieved within a given timescale and therefore when further audits should be completed.
The audit of your management structure and processes may identify gaps or failings, however the report provided following the audit will include recommended changes that you can implement to improve health & safety performance along with recommendations for future audits.
You can use the audit for any area of your business, whether it’s the operation of a particular team, department or the whole organisation itself.
