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.
Weighted questions with auditor guidance, and on most of them the clause each question evidences — 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 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

Typically run by EHS Manager / Internal Auditor
Internal audit of IATF 16949 design and development planning, manufacturing process design output, control plans, changes, error-proofing and the manufacturing process audit programme itself.
Typically run by Quality Engineer / Internal Auditor
System-level internal audit of an ISO 9001:2015 quality management system — scope, leadership, resources, awareness, operational control, release and improvement — the clauses a certification body samples before it reaches the shop floor.
Typically run by Quality Manager / Internal Auditor
Internal audit of the IATF 16949:2016 automotive supplemental requirements — customer-specific requirements, product safety, risk and contingency, laboratories, supplier development, PPAP, warranty and the three-year audit programme. Run beside the ISO 9001 audit, never instead of it.
Typically run by IATF Internal Auditor / Quality Manager

Typically run by EHS Manager / Safety Coordinator
Audit of the Factories Act licence, occupier duties, hazardous-process obligations, hours, registers and accident and disease notices. The Act was repealed by the OSH Code 2020 from 21 November 2025; rules and licences under it continue where not contrary to the Code, so run this beside the OSH Code audit during the transition.

Thresholds the Code leaves to rules are checked against the State or Central rules that apply to the establishment.
Typically run by HR / Factory Manager / Safety Officer
