Understanding Safety Audits and HAZOP Studies: When Are They Necessary?

Please guide me, what is "Safety Audit" and "HAZOP study"? When is it required to be done?

Thanks

With reference to the Factories Act and the Department of Health and Safety...

Please help.

Safety audits are carried out both internally by safety personnel and externally by safety agencies. The audit procedure involves checking the fire safety procedures for the industry, employer's attitude towards safety (e.g., by displaying safety slogans, conducting safety awareness programs, etc.), providing personal protective equipment to the staff and daily labor. HAZOP refers to Hazard and Operability Study, which involves assessing various hazardous environments, conditions inside the plant, and preventing the same through preventive and predictive maintenance procedures, etc.

Dear Mr. Prasad,

With reference to the Factories Act and the Department of Health & Safety, I believe that most people in this forum are related to HR practices. You may want to contact safety-related forums or groups for this kind of query. They will be able to suggest and guide you in a better way.

Thanks and regards,
