Health & Safety Audits

Health and Safety Audits (H&S Audits) are a critical service offered by Telaplan International, designed to ensure that organizations adhere to occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements as set forth under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), 2007. These audits are particularly vital for organizations operating in environments where physical, chemical, biological, or ergonomic hazards are present.

Telaplan’s Health and Safety Audits are carried out by certified safety auditors who bring a strong understanding of both legal compliance and workplace risk management. These audits are structured to evaluate the effectiveness of OHS systems, procedures, and practices, with the dual aim of protecting human life and ensuring regulatory compliance.

Key components of the audit include:

Evaluation of workplace hazards and risk control measures.

• Review of Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and chemical handling protocols.

• Inspection of firefighting equipment, emergency exits, and alarm systems.

• Assessment of worker training, PPE usage, and incident reporting systems.

• Compliance with legal signage, ventilation, noise levels, and ergonomic standards.

• Examination of sanitation and welfare facilities (especially for vulnerable groups).

Telaplan provides both initial safety audits for new facilities and annual audits for ongoing operations. The audit reports include:

• Compliance scorecards.

• Non-conformity identification.

• Root cause analysis.

• Corrective and preventive actions (CAPAs).

• Safety Improvement Plans with timelines and responsibilities.

Additionally, Telaplan often develops Health and Safety Policy Documents, Emergency Response Plans, and Workplace Risk Registers as part of this service. These tools are essential for organizations applying for licenses from the Directorate of Occupational Safety and Health Services (DOSHS).

This service is especially relevant in sectors such as manufacturing, warehousing, hospitality, construction, health care, education, and service industries. By ensuring that employers minimize risks to their staff and visitors, Telaplan helps prevent injuries, legal liabilities, downtime, and reputational damage.

Moreover, Telaplan provides training and sensitization workshops following audit findings, helping build a safety culture within client organizations. These capacity-building sessions cover emergency drills, hazard identification, fire response, first aid, and accident reporting procedures.
