The best time to conduct a safety audit is during a time when operations and work practices can be observed as they are normally conducted and when there will be the least number of distractions to the normal work procedures. To conduct a thorough audit of a job or area, it is best to use a checklist. There are many different types of audit checklists with the number of items on the list varying from only a few to hundreds depending on the complexity of the audit. Each type of checklist has its specific purpose. How often audits are conducted depends on the potential for property damage, personal injury, or catastrophic events, and how quickly conditions that could present a hazard can develop. Additional conditions to consider are past records of equipment failures, accidents, near accidents and injuries, and whether regular audits are required due to requirements external to the company. The greater the potential severity or consequences of an unwanted occurrence, the more frequently audits should be made. In addition to a job safety analysis form, a detailed checklist should be used that reflects regulations as well as best business practices and consensus standards applicable to health and safety requirements specific to the companys operations and exposures. Examples of checklist items might include, Machinery and tools, Equipment, processes, and raw materials, Materials handling and storage, Hand and portable power tools, Vehicle fleets, Organization and administrative procedures, Walking and working surfaces, Housekeeping practice, Fire protection and life safety, Emergency response procedures, Radiation, hazardous chemicals, and hazard communication program, Electrical hazards, Lock out and tag out, Hazard signage, Personal protective equipment, Elevators, Hoists and slings, Recording Hazards.
