WHS AUDITS & REVIEWS
Independent Audits & Reviews
Know what’s working. Find what isn’t. Fix what matters.
A WHS audit should help you make better decisions. Red Insight looks at your systems, speaks with your people and reviews how work happens in practice, so you can see where to focus next.
Practical WHS audit and review support for businesses in Maitland, Newcastle and the Hunter.
The right review for the question you need answered
Preparing for an audit, reviewing a particular risk or checking your whole WHS system? We agree the scope, sites and review criteria with you first. A focused review can be the right starting point.
01
WHS systems & compliance
Review your procedures, responsibilities and records against agreed WHS requirements. Check how the system is understood and used across your business.
02
Workplace inspections
Look at work areas, equipment and activities to identify hazards and gaps in controls. Focus attention on the issues that need action on site.
03
Risk assessments & SWMS
Review whether assessments reflect the work being done and whether controls are clear, practical and in use. Identify gaps between the document and the task.
04
Contractor management
Examine how contractors are selected, inducted, coordinated and monitored. Check whether responsibilities and site expectations are clear.
05
ISO & client audit readiness
Identify gaps against agreed certification or client requirements before an external audit. Clarify the evidence and corrective actions that still need attention.
06
Corrective action reviews
Check the evidence behind completed actions and whether changes are working. Identify recurring issues and actions that need further follow-through.
Good paperwork is only part of the picture.
We compare what your system says with the evidence available and the work we observe. The aim is a clear view of strengths, gaps and practical improvements, with findings tied to the agreed review criteria.
How the review works
01 · Agree the scope
Discuss your concerns, sites, activities and deadlines. Confirm what will be assessed, the evidence needed and how findings will be reported.
02 · Review the evidence
Review relevant documents and records, speak with the people involved and observe work where the scope includes a site visit.
03 · Explain the findings
Set out what is working, where gaps exist and why they matter. Discuss priorities so your team understands the next steps.
04 · Support follow-through
Where agreed, help your team implement improvements and review close-out evidence. Follow-up support can be scoped separately.
What you take away
Deliverables are agreed for your scope and can include:
- A clear findings report with supporting evidence, strengths and gaps.
- Prioritised recommendations to help you direct effort and resources.
- A practical action plan your team can use to assign owners, target dates and close-out evidence.
- A findings discussion so leaders and action owners understand what needs to happen next.
A practical, independent perspective
Red Insight is a Hunter-based WHS consultancy with a triple ISO certified management system. Our work connects documented systems with everyday site practice.
You get clear explanations and recommendations grounded in the evidence reviewed. If you need help putting improvements into practice, we can agree that support with you.
Before you book
Do we need a full audit or a focused review?
Start with the question you need answered. A review of one site, activity or part of your system may be enough. We can help define an appropriate scope before work starts.
What should we have ready?
Share the reason for the review, relevant sites and activities, any audit criteria or client requirements, and your deadline. We will identify the documents, records and people needed for the agreed scope.
Is a readiness review a certification audit?
No. A readiness review identifies gaps to address before your certification body’s audit. It does not issue certification or guarantee an external audit result.
