Focus Audit Legal Certainty in Occupational Safety

A competent auditor will conduct the focus audit in the form of a workshop with a group of relevant persons within the company. The group of participants should consist of approx. 5 persons. The participants will be named by the company.

The auditor will moderate the questions out of the checklist and take the answers over to the checklist. The degree of implementation will be reviewed by the group. At the end of the audit, a prioritized overview list based on the checklist will be available. Thus there will be an overview of the status of implementation of the legal requirements relating to the Act on Labour Protection. The checklist elaborated will remain at the customer’s.
