Use this audit program to assess and improve your organization’s plant safety environment compliance. Divided into two main sections, the document covers the Plant Operations Safety Audit Work Program and the Plant Operations Security Audit Work Program. The Safety Audit section outlines steps to determine the plant's safety environment, compliance with safety regulations, and addressing previous safety issues, involving a preliminary review, interviews with safety personnel, and assessment of compliance with OSHA and other regulatory bodies. 

Both sections emphasize the importance of thorough preliminary reviews, systematic testing and continuous monitoring to ensure a safe and secure environment. The work program provides detailed project steps, including obtaining updated narratives, verifying participation in corporate audits, and creating risk and control matrices. This structured approach ensures that you can comprehensively assess the plant's adherence to safety and security standards, identify potential risks, and recommend necessary improvements.

Project work steps include:

• Obtain an updated narrative from the plant controller. Review it and discuss it with the responsible person as necessary to ensure a complete understanding of the process.
• Determine the safety manager’s qualifications.
• Determine the plant’s annual incident rate and industry average incident rate.
• Obtain detailed information on any recent Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) audits at the plant.
