I. Purpose of Setting Clear Objectives

Establishing clear objectives for each audit helps:

• Focus the audit scope and team efforts.
• Ensure consistent assessment across different facilities and partners.
• Address specific health and safety risks tied to SayPro’s work environments.
• Align with local legal requirements and SayPro’s internal policies.
• Support continuous improvement and accountability.

II. Core Audit Objectives

For every monthly audit, the team will:

1. Verify Compliance with national Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) laws, SayPro policies, and international standards (e.g., ISO 45001).
2. Identify Hazards and Risks that could endanger staff, visitors, or beneficiaries.
3. Assess Safety Infrastructure and preparedness to handle emergencies.
4. Review Training and Awareness among staff on key safety procedures.
5. Evaluate Partner Organization Compliance with SayPro’s minimum health and safety requirements.
