Moving Beyond Compliance to Measure Effectiveness
A Safety Performance Audit goes beyond certification. Instead of verifying compliance, it measures the effectiveness of your Occupational Health & Safety programs, leadership, and culture.
These audits assess whether safety controls work in practice — not just on paper — using interviews, behavioral observations, data analytics, and performance metrics. The goal is to understand how safety is perceived, practiced, and improved across all organizational levels.
BQCIS brings an independent lens to uncover systemic gaps and cultural weaknesses, providing a practical roadmap for continuous improvement and world-class safety performance.

Success Story
Performance Audit Revitalizes Stagnant Safety Program
An ISO 45001–certified manufacturer saw its safety results plateau, despite full compliance. Workers lacked motivation to engage in reporting or hazard control.
BQCIS conducted a deep-dive performance audit analyzing safety leadership, communication, and behavioral observation systems, supported by workforce perception surveys.
Within eight months, leading safety indicators (near-miss reports, safety suggestions) increased by 200 %, and total recordable incidents fell significantly—demonstrating measurable culture improvement.
