National Audit Tool (NAT) Audit for Self-Insured Organisations

Knox OHS Solutions has experience with self-insured government and private sector organisations. We can assist with preparing for Self-Insurance audits, including auditing the adequacy of the WHS management system documentation, operational practices and effectiveness of the management system implementation.

Legal Compliance Audits

A legal compliance audit is an assessment of your organisations compliance with WHS or environment obligations.

Legal compliance audits may be conducted across all WHS and/or environment obligations or could focus on specific obligations within the legal framework.

Knox OHS Solutions has conducted legal compliance audits for Government Business Enterprise (GBE) and private sector organisations. Our team have completed legal compliance audits in response to Board requests and review impacts of legislative changes.

Due diligence audits are conducted to gain an understanding of how an organisation manages its health and safety and environment responsibilities. These audits are conducted before a financial transaction, such mergers and acquisitions.
