The healthiest audit system is one where the bulk of the heavy lifting is done internally. This is key as the more you internalise H&S the more you learn and understand about your business. This then drives and strengthens your H&S culture. However, a crucial additional part is external checks. Different sets of eyes, helps to eliminate any natural bias that might sneak in as well as any blind spots you may have. Having external auditors also allows you to learn from other companies experiences.
The auditors below are familiar with the Assure360 system and can help you get the most out of it.
