How Is a Safety Management System evaluated?
A comprehensive review of the employer’s health and safety management system is carried out through an audit. Partnerships recognizes the efforts of employers who meet provincial standards through the issuing of a Certificate of Recognition (COR). To qualify for a COR, an audit must be carried out by a qualified auditor. The auditor must use an audit instrument that is approved for Partnerships use, is appropriate to the industry and operations of the employer, and is acceptable to a Certifying Partner. The audit will typically cover the basic elements of a health and safety management system and will include interviews, documentation review and observation techniques.
