Procedures

     WHS Risk Management Procedures  WHS Auditing Procedures

The Auditing procedure sets out the processes for planning and conducting health and safety and injury management audits at the University.

 

There are 3 types of WHS audits.

1. Internal Audit

An internal audit is a systematic, and wherever possible, independent examination, carried out by a competent person, appointed by the University, to determine whether

  • an activity or activities and related results conform to planned arrangements;
  • these arrangements are implemented effectively; and
  • whether they are suitable to achieve the University's policy and objectives.

The results of the internal audits must be documented and staff consulted about them. Preventative/corrective action plans must be subsequently developed and implemented.

 

2. Legislative Compliance Audit

A legislative compliance audit is a systematic and documented verification process to obtain and evaluate evidence to determine that the University's WHS policies, procedures and practices comply with legislative requirements.

 

3. ReturntoWorkSA Evaluation

A ReturntoWorkSA evaluation is a review undertaken by ReturntoWorkSA to evaluate the University's overall compliance with the requirements of the ReturntoWorkSA Performance standards for self-insured employers or in relation to a particular matter of compliance.

 

Refer to the WHS Auditing Procedures for further details.
