ABSTRACT
To survive an OSHA audit (and more important, to detect and correct potential causes of injury), each facility should perform routine periodic self-audits. The importance of these self-audits can’t be overstated. They are critical to maintain ing a high degree of safety in the workplace. OSHA under stands this, and your auditor will be able to judge how effec tively your facility is “managed” by conditions they observe during the audit. My experience has shown that facilities that employ a proactive, no-nonsense self-auditing process are more likely to fare well during an OSHA audit.
