Discuss the role of an OSHA compliance safety and health officer who has been assigned to perform an audit of the facility where the accident occurred. You have been asked to evaluate the company’s safety management system (SMS) to determine if there were any deficiencies in the system that could have caused the accident. You are required to prepare a summary of your audit process to evaluate the post-accident findings compliant with OSHA standards and also include the following information:
identification of who would be involved in the opening and closing conferences,
specific OSHA standards you would review to determine compliance (you must identify at least three standards and they must relate to the accident),
specific items you would be looking for during your visit to determine compliance,
development of a point of scoring system that you would use to evaluate the SMS, and
recommended feedback you would provide to the company to help them improve their SMS
Your audit report should be at least two pages, not including the title and reference pages. References should include specific OSHA Standards
