From my experience, while regular QHSE audits are invaluable for identifying improvements and ensuring compliance, they can sometimes be perceived as merely tick-box exercises rather than opportunities for genuine improvement. This perception can limit their effectiveness in driving meaningful change. A solution to enhance their value is to integrate continuous improvement processes into the audit cycle. This involves not only identifying gaps but also actively engaging employees in problem-solving and innovation, thereby fostering a culture of safety and quality that goes beyond compliance and significantly contributes to organizational success.

There is so much to consider in the HSE community. As workers and employers it is often overwhelming when you consider the wide scope of Health and Safety.
Little things tend to fall through the cracks with even the most diligent teams.
As the Officer at my company I am responsible to guarantee our system is being enforced and followed. But who holds me accountable?
A great system is to get the Committee if your workplace has one to audit us and the system we control. A second or third set of eyes catch the things we have blinded ourselves to seeing.
Everyone needs to be accountable..... NOT blamed.

When the audit is looming, you can’t help but wonder what you’ve missed. What are they going to find? Who are they going to blame?
Please know this - auditors are not out to trip you up!
Their job is not to shred your efforts. They do need to see that you’re following your internal system, and they will offer help and guidance when it’s needed.
Audits are an improvement tool, to help the business enhance performance and if there are findings, the first step is getting to the real source of the problem. Knowing the exact reason something went wrong means that corrective and preventative action plans can be put in place. That will help to ensure there is no reoccurrence.

En mi experiencia como responsable de sistemas de gestión QHSE conseguí en las auditorías un valor incalculable.
