Strengthening Safety Beyond Legal Minimums
At CLIDE Safety Consulting, we believe safety audits should do more than check compliance boxes. Our Beyond Compliance Safety Audit goes deeper to evaluate how safety systems actually work on the ground, how risks are controlled in real operations, and how leadership and workforce behaviours influence safety outcomes.
Our audits are designed to identify hidden risks, systemic weaknesses, and improvement opportunities that are often missed in routine compliance audits.
What is a Beyond Compliance Safety Audit?
A Beyond Compliance Safety Audit is a structured, risk-based assessment that evaluates not only statutory compliance but also the effectiveness, maturity, and sustainability of safety systems and practices. It focuses on how safety is planned, implemented, monitored, and owned across all levels of the organisation.
The audit helps organisations move from reactive compliance to proactive risk management and strong safety governance.
