Workplace Safety Audits, Risk Assessments & Gap Analysis
A strong safety system starts with knowing where your risks, weaknesses and compliance gaps are.
AMH Safety provides independent workplace safety audits, risk assessments and gap analyses to help businesses understand their current position and identify what needs to improve. Our reviews are practical, evidence-based and tailored to the work being performed – not based on a generic checklist that overlooks the realities of your operations.
Whether you are preparing for an audit, responding to a client requirement, reviewing existing systems or simply seeking greater confidence in your workplace arrangements, AMH Safety provides clear findings and a practical pathway forward.
Workplace Safety Audits
AMH Safety conducts workplace audits that consider both documentation and implementation.
The review may examine:
- WHS management systems & plans
- Workplace conditions & physical hazards
- High-risk work activities
- Plant, equipment & maintenance arrangements
- Hazardous chemicals
- Contractor & subcontractor controls
- Worker consultation
- Training & competency records
- Incident & hazard reporting
- Emergency & first aid arrangements
- Inspection & monitoring processes
- Corrective action management
- Management & supervisor responsibilities
Identify Risks Before They Become Incidents
Workplace risks are not always obvious.
Some hazards develop gradually as the business grows, work practices change or new contractors, equipment and projects are introduced. Other risks remain hidden because documentation appears complete, even though controls are not consistently implemented.
A workplace audit can help identify:
- Uncontrolled or poorly controlled hazards
- Gaps between procedures and actual work practices
- Outdated policies, risk assessments or registers
- Missing training, licences or competency evidence
- Weak contractor management processes
- Unclear responsibilities and accountabilities
- Incomplete incident and corrective action records
- Insufficient evidence of consultation
- Emergency planning deficiencies
- Areas where the business may be exposed during an audit or investigation
Early identification gives your business an opportunity to act before a gap results in an injury, client concern, project disruption or regulatory issue.
At AMH Safety, we can assist with:
Risk assessments
We develop and review workplace, task-based, project-specific, plant & equipment, hazardous chemical, manual task, psychosocial and high-risk work risk assessments.
Gap analysis
A gap analysis compares your current arrangements against the requirements or expectations relevant to your business. The review identifies what is already working, what is missing and where existing systems require improvement.
Clear findings & prioritised actions
An audit report should not leave your business with an overwhelming list of observations and no clear direction. AMH Safety provides concise findings supported by practical recommendations.
Drive genuine improvement
A well-managed review can help your business prevent incidents and injuries, improvement management visibility, strengthen worker & contractor accountability, prepare for audits, improve tender readiness, demonstrate due diligence and improvement consistency.
