The job you're hiring this for
Closing out safety observations before they become a reportable incident, and keeping ISO 45001 / IATF evidence audit-ready across multiple plants.
Every one carries weighted questions, auditor guidance and clause references — ready to run, or to edit into your own house standard.
Verifies isolation procedures are documented per machine and actually followed — the control that prevents most maintenance fatalities.
Typically run by Safety Officer / Maintenance Lead
Point-of-operation and power-transmission guarding check across the shop floor, including interlock function testing.
Typically run by Safety Officer
Audits live permits for hot work, confined space, height and electrical isolation against what is actually happening on site.
Typically run by HSE Manager
Structured leadership safety walk covering conditions, behaviours and worker conversations — not just a hazard-spotting exercise.
Typically run by Plant Manager / Department Head
Management-system-level audit of the OH&S system against ISO 45001:2018 clauses — the audit a certification body will repeat.
Typically run by Internal Auditor (ISO 45001 trained)
Environmental management system audit covering aspects, compliance obligations, waste, effluent, emissions and spill readiness.
Typically run by EHS Manager / Internal Auditor
Statutory compliance check against the Factories Act 1948 and State Factory Rules — registers, licences, welfare provisions and safety requirements.
Typically run by Safety Officer / Compliance Manager
Quality management system audit against ISO 9001:2015 clauses, including the 2024 climate change amendment.
Typically run by Internal Auditor (ISO 9001 trained)
Short, high-frequency verification of critical process controls at the workstation, repeated across supervisor, manager and director layers.
Typically run by Supervisor / Manager (layered)
Pre-mobilisation and on-site contractor controls — the gap where most multi-employer site incidents originate.
Typically run by HSE Manager / Project Engineer
Powered industrial truck operation, operator authorisation, pedestrian segregation and load handling across the plant.
Typically run by EHS Officer
Verifies chemical inventory, SDS availability, labelling, segregation, containment and exposure controls in stores and at point of use.
Typically run by EHS / Chemical Safety Officer
Fabrication bay audit covering hot work control, gas cylinder handling, fume extraction, eye protection and welding return earthing.
Typically run by EHS Officer / Fabrication Supervisor
Verifies that gauges are traceably calibrated and in date, and that gauge studies show the measurement system can resolve the tolerance.
Typically run by Quality Engineer
Audits receiving inspection for purchased material — sampling, certification checks, quarantine discipline and supplier nonconformance handling.
Typically run by Quality Inspector / Supplier Quality Engineer
Reviews an FAI package for a new or changed part — ballooned drawing, full dimensional results, certifications and approval before production shipment.
Typically run by Quality Engineer / APQP Lead
Verifies that a product changeover reaches an approved first-off before the run continues, and that the previous part is fully cleared from the line.
Typically run by Production Supervisor / Quality Engineer
Checks that planned maintenance on critical equipment is actually being done on schedule, with spares, honest records and predictive checks behind it.
Typically run by Maintenance Manager
Traces nonconforming product from detection to disposition, verifying rework instructions, re-inspection and that scrap is genuinely destroyed.
Typically run by Quality Manager
Panel condition, earth continuity and pit resistance, RCD testing, live-work controls and portable appliance safety across the plant.
Typically run by Electrical Safety Officer
Statutory and condition audit of boilers, air receivers and pressure vessels — certificates, safety valves, mountings, trips and operator competence.
Typically run by Plant / Boiler Engineer
Verifies noise mapping, personal exposure monitoring, engineering controls, protection use and audiometry follow-up for exposed workers.
Typically run by Occupational Health / EHS Officer
Each of these has a real control library in the product — questions map to specific clauses, so gap analysis shows you what is genuinely unevidenced.
