Did you know that Performance Advantage offers you options for OH&S audits?

We can provide a full suite OH&S audit on your premises, or an initial streamlined Desktop OH&S audit to review your company’s occupational health and safety practices. Unlike on-site audits, it involves evaluating documents, policies, and systems remotely without physical inspections. From this review we can identify system gaps such as outdated policies or insufficient training plans or records.

Most importantly desktop audits reduce the risk of non-compliance penalties by ensuring that documentation and processes are in order. It’s a great starting or check-in point with OH&S, without operational disruptions. They can be done remotely, further increasing the flexibility and convenience. It’s ideal with remote or dispersed operations where physical audits may be challenging or expensive.

Desktop OH&S audit is cost effective as it requires fewer resources compared to a full on-site audit, eliminates travel, accommodation, and logistical costs associated with on-site evaluations, plus it can be conducted quickly, reducing disruption to operations.

How do we do it? We focus on reviewing documentation and systems, all of which can be done remotely. We have fast turnaround times for identifying gaps and providing recommendations. We also give you immediate follow-up on findings without waiting for extensive physical inspections. It helps businesses address minor issues proactively, improving outcomes in future audits. If we find huge gaps the desktop audit serves as a preliminary step to identify areas that need attention before a comprehensive on-site audit.

The result for businesses of a desktop OH&S audit from Performance Advantage is a clear picture of where the OH&S priorities should be, clarity on major risks to the business, and practical recommendations for action steps to resolve non-compliance and minimise exposure to penalties and workplace safety incidents. You will have increased protection against risk – which is good for your team and your business.

A desktop OH&S audit is an efficient and practical way to assess an organization’s safety framework, ensuring that systems and processes are robust and you are protected.
