The Audit of the WHSMS is to determine if all sections of the system are adequate, being implemented, maintained and documented. 

Auditing the WHSMS involves reviewing each procedure within the section by reviewing Workplace Health & Safety policies and procedures and recording that an audit took place as identified by COM minutes.  

All issues of non-conformance as identified on the WHSMS Audit will be investigated without delay.

Reviews are undertaken with consultation of workers. 

The WHS Management System is also reviewed following a:

• critical event (Notifiable Incident);

• change in work procedures; or a

• change in policy including any applicable legislation changes.

The review will occur whenever the above is recognised by either management or worker.

The WHSMS Audit  will take place annually, by the WHS Facilitator, and will consist of an audit of the following areas: 

1. WHSMS (this site)

2. WHS Policies

3. WHS Procedures

4. Risk Management

5. Legal and Other Requirements

6. Structure and Responsibilities

7. Inspections and Controls

8. Training, Awareness and Competence

9. Worker Safety Induction

10. Consultation and Communication 

11. Reporting

12. Document Control 

13. Emergency Preparedness and Response

14. Incident Investigation

Once completed, the WHS Facilitator shall provide the Committee of Management with a report outlining compliance with WHS laws and identifying any non-compliance with WHS Laws and provide evidence of the plan to address issues. 

Locations are responsible for the outworking of the WHSMS at their campus. Policies and Procedures, training documents and systems for reporting are mandatory to continue the health and safety culture at each Location. 

Each Location is responsible for WHS reporting to the Compliance office in the following ways:

Periodically

1. Regular inspections by Locations are encouraged by using the Workplace Inspection Checklist as a tool to assist in the inspection process. 

2. Changes to buildings, incidents or events may require a review or update of procedures at each Location. 

Annually

1. Reporting via the Annual Compliance Reporting Form - Found on the Location Pastor's Site. 

2. Document management, reviews and updates via the Compliance Drive - as Locations are site specific, they must manage their documentation by rewriting each procedure to suit their campus and meet their WHS obligations.

3. A formal workplace site inspection will be conducted annually by the Citipointe Brisbane Compliance Office. Hazards that are formally identified must be rectified.

Any issues of non-conformance identified by any inspection or audit, internal or otherwise,  will be investigated, rectified without delay.
