Statutory Audit Occupational Risk Prevention Audit

​​Importance of occupational risk audits

Companies are legally required to carry out preventive activities with their own means, and those that choose to do so voluntarily, as established by the Law 31/1995 on Occupational Risk Prevention and Royal Decree 39/1997approving the Regulations for Prevention Services, and its modifications, specified in Royal Decrees 604/2006 and 337/2010.

The statutory audit of occupational risk prevention is an instrument that tries to reflect the image of the company's occupational risk prevention system, assessing its efficiency and detecting any deficiencies that can give rise to breaches of regulations, to allow for the adoption of decisions aimed at perfecting and improving the system.

Audit steps

The audit carries out a systematic, objective, documented analysis of the system of prevention, including:

  • Assessment of the implementation of initial and periodic risk assessments, analysis, and verification of results.
  • Checking that the type and planning of preventive activities comply with the requirements of general legislation and regulations governing relevant specific risks.
  • Analysis of whether the resources available to the employer are sufficient for the procedures and means needed to carry out required preventive activities.

Assessment of the incorporation of preventive measures in the company's general management system, through the implementation, application, and subsequent evaluation of the Occupational Risk Prevention Plan.
