- In many countries it is a specific legal requirement to safeguard the health and safety of workers and othe
operations
c) Economic
- Accident at work cost a great deal of money. Especially when we add in damage accidents. Employers also

-People involved
- Data and time
- Location
- Method of work activities
- Result of risk assessment
- Existing prevention measure
- proper supervision
b. An external auditor
Advantage
1) Auditor will have a range of experience of different types of work practices
2) Not inhibited by criticism
3) Will see the organization’s performance without prior bias
Disadvantage
