Our Audit Process
Systematic construction safety assessment following BOCW Act and construction safety guidelines
Pre-Audit Planning
Review project details, construction stage, contractor information, worker strength, site layout plans, and define audit scope covering all construction safety aspects.
Opening Meeting
Conduct kick-off meeting with project manager, contractors, safety officer, and site supervisors. Discuss audit approach, schedule, and safety protocols.
Site Walkthrough
Comprehensive inspection of entire construction site, ongoing activities, high-risk zones, work-at-height areas, excavations, and temporary structures.
Work-at-Height Assessment
Detailed inspection of scaffolding erection, stability testing, platform completeness, guardrails, toe boards, access ladders, and fall protection systems.
Excavation & Shoring Inspection
Evaluate excavation depth, soil stability, shoring adequacy, battering, barricading, warning signs, safe access, and dewatering arrangements.
Formwork & Concrete Work Review
Assess formwork design approval, props spacing, ties, strutting, load capacity, stripping procedures, and concrete pouring safety measures.
Lifting Operations & Machinery
Inspect cranes, hoists, lifting tackles, slings, load charts, operator competency certificates, machine guarding, and safe operating procedures.
Electrical & Fire Safety
Review temporary electrical installations, ELCB protection, cable insulation, generator earthing, fire extinguishers, hot work permits, and emergency response.
PPE & Safety Equipment
Verify availability, usage compliance, and condition of helmets, safety shoes, gloves, goggles, safety harnesses, and job-specific PPE.
Welfare Facilities Inspection
Assess canteen facilities, drinking water quality, toilet adequacy, washing facilities, rest shelters, and crèche provisions as per BOCW Act.
First Aid & Medical Facilities
Review first aid box contents, trained first aiders, ambulance on call, medical examination records, and accident reporting system.
Documentation Review
Examine BOCW registration, safety officer appointment, toolbox talk records, safety committee meetings, accident registers, and training records.
Worker Interviews
Interact with construction workers to assess safety awareness, training effectiveness, hazard reporting, and satisfaction with safety measures.
Gap Analysis & Risk Rating
Identify critical safety gaps, assess accident potential, rate findings by severity, and prioritize immediate actions versus long-term improvements.
Detailed Audit Report
Comprehensive report with executive summary, site observations, photographic evidence, compliance status, risk assessment, and prioritized action plan.
Follow-up Support
Post-audit consultation for implementation guidance, contractor coordination, safety training support, and verification of corrective actions.
