Objective
The objective of the audit was to verify that COPSAS's management of working environment risk meets the regulatory requirements within this area and that arrangements for employee participation complied with the regulations.
We wanted to examine how COPSAS manages risk in respect of exposures to benzene, noise and factors that increase the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. The audit also covered management of the psychosocial and organisational working environment.
Result
One non-conformity was identified in connection with the management of working environment risk.
In addition, two improvement points were identified in connection with:
- Information on and training in working environment factors
- Involvement of the safety delegate service
COPSAS has been given a deadline of 13 July 2018 to report on how the non-conformity and improvement points will be addressed.
