Safety audits help to keep track if your business is in compliance with the established safety regulations. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration propose that all employers should conduct regular safety audit “to promptly correct all violations of the [Occupational Safety and Health Act] that are discovered in order to ensure safety and health in the workplace.”
