QAICPL explains how an auditing organisation audit is prepared, conducted and reported, including WSH audit report delivery and client responsibilities when using audit reports or marks.
Audit outputs include a written WSH Audit Report and Testimony of Audit.
Select the audit or endorsement area relevant to your organisation and provide the scope, site and timeline when making an enquiry.
The audit team may carry out document review of the organisation's management documented information to determine whether the documented information meets the audit criteria.
Preparation also identifies any additional documents needed for review and includes planning for the on-site audit.
The audit team begins the on-site audit with an opening meeting so the audit activity can proceed with clear scope, expectations and communication.
The audit methodology comprises document review, physical inspection and interview.
The audit team closes the on-site audit process and communicates relevant audit outcomes before reporting is completed.
The audit team leader provides a written WSH Audit Report for each audit to the client. The report includes identified opportunities for improvement without recommending specific solutions.
The client will receive softcopy of the WSH Audit Report and Testimony of Audit within 14 working days.
The WSH Audit Report will have the SAC Mark included on the first page of the audit report, with the QAI Certification logo located next to the SAC Mark.
Clients are expected to follow the stated requirements after receiving the WSH Audit Report from QAI Certification.
