What does 3.13 require?

Periodic audits are arranged to establish whether the management system and its elements exist, are adequate and are effective at protecting workers and preventing incidents. An audit policy and programme fix auditor competency, scope, frequency, methodology and reporting. Each audit evaluates the system's elements, or a suitable subset: policy, worker participation, responsibility and accountability, competence and training, documentation, communication, planning and implementation, prevention and control, change management, emergency arrangements, procurement, contracting, performance monitoring, investigation, audit, management review, preventive and corrective action, continual improvement and any other relevant criteria. The audit concludes whether the elements implemented deliver the policy and objectives, promote full worker participation, respond to performance evaluation results and earlier audits, enable legal compliance, and serve continual improvement and best practice. Auditors are competent people, internal or external, independent of the activity audited; results and conclusions go to those responsible for corrective action; and, as appropriate, workers take part in choosing the auditor and in every stage of the audit including analysis of results.

Other controls in Chapter 3 Evaluation: performance monitoring, investigation, audit, management review (3.11 to 3.14) – ILO-OSH 2001 Guidelines on Occupational Safety and Health Management Systems

3.11.1-3.11.5 Procedures to monitor, measure and record OSH performance regularly, with allocated responsibility at each management level; indicators chosen for the organisation's size, activity and objectives; qualitative and quantitative measures based on identified hazards, policy commitments and objectives that feed the management review; monitoring that shows whether policy and objectives are implemented and risks controlled, uses active and reactive methods beyond injury statistics, is recorded, and gives feedback, assurance that day-to-day controls work, and the basis for improvement decisions
3.11.6-3.11.7 Active monitoring of plans, performance criteria and objectives, systematic inspection of work systems, premises, plant and equipment, surveillance of the working environment including work organisation, health surveillance for early detection of harm, and compliance with legal and subscribed commitments; reactive monitoring that identifies, reports and investigates injuries, ill health including sickness absence, diseases and incidents, other losses such as property damage, deficient performance and system failures, and rehabilitation and health-restoration programmes
3.12 Investigate the origin and underlying causes of injuries, ill health, diseases and incidents to find system failures, by competent persons with worker participation, documented, reported to the safety and health committee for recommendations, communicated for corrective action and fed into management review and continual improvement; implement the corrective action to prevent repetition; act on external investigators' reports in the same way
3.14 Management reviews at a frequency and scope set by the employer or most senior accountable person that evaluate the system's overall strategy against planned performance, its ability to meet the needs of the organisation and stakeholders including workers and regulators, the need for changes to the system, policy and objectives, timely remedial action including adaptations to management structure and performance measurement, direction and priorities for planning and improvement, progress on objectives and corrective actions, and the effectiveness of earlier follow-up; consider investigation, monitoring and audit results and internal and external changes; record and communicate findings to those responsible and to the committee and workers
