The last action recommended under management leadership and employee involvement is an annual review of program operations to evaluate success in meeting the goal and objectives. A comprehensive program audit is needed to evaluate the safety and health management means, methods, and processes, to ensure they are protecting against worksite hazards. The audit determines whether the policies and procedures are implemented as planned and whether they have met the objectives set for the program. This allows for the identification of opportunities for improvement and can drive next year's planning process.
