This infographic highlights the critical difference between #Inspection and #Audit within an effective safety framework

 In the field of #OccupationalSafety and Health (#HSE), safety is not achieved by a single action, but through a structured and well-managed system.

This infographic highlights the critical difference between #Inspection and #Audit within an effective safety framework. A safety inspection focuses on identifying hazards, unsafe conditions, and risky behaviors directly at the #JobSite, supporting immediate #RiskManagement and reinforcing daily operational control.

A safety audit, however, goes beyond the field level. It evaluates whether #SafetyStandards are properly implemented by reviewing policies, procedures, records, and overall compliance with recognized frameworks such as #OSHA and international management systems. This strategic process plays a key role in strengthening long-term #SafetyCulture and organizational performance.

Both processes are essential and complementary. Inspections help prevent incidents on the ground, while audits ensure that the safety system itself remains effective and sustainable.

Inspection prevents accidents. Audit prevents system failure.
