These case studies of workplace industrial safety audits show examples from various job settings. Safety, EPA and OSHA compliance and loss control challenges are identified. Employers are taking this proactive approach to workplace safety for several reasons:

• Preventing harm to all persons in and around their job locations.
• Eliminating production losses from avoidable hazards.
• Demonstrating their commitment to compliance with OSHA and EPA standards.
• Minimizing their workers compensation insurance costs.
• Optimizing their property and casualty insurance coverages.

The Jobsite Safety Process

Evaluation - This step, often termed the simulated OSHA audit, safety audit or loss control or loss prevention survey, examines:

• Work processes
• Work locations
• Trends in your loss history.

Planning - Plan your response to identified issues. Consider, also, standards specific to your industry.

Implementation - A comprehensive and precise safety and loss control program prioritizes needs and allocates resources.
