A NSW WHS guidelines audit helps businesses confirm their work health and safety practices meet current legislative requirements. It provides clear evidence of compliance with the WHS Act, SafeWork NSW expectations, and relevant codes of practice.
At KBM Advisory, we conduct NSW WHS guidelines audits that go beyond a checklist. We review how your safety management system operates in practice, identify gaps, and provide clear corrective actions to reduce risk and strengthen compliance.
A NSW WHS guidelines audit is a structured review of your work health and safety arrangements against safety legislation and auditing guidelines. The audit assesses whether your systems, procedures, and records meet obligations under the Health and Safety Act.
Our auditors examine how your organisation manages occupational health and safety across people, processes, and equipment. This includes reviewing existing documentation, compliance documents, and audit trails, as well as observing workplace practices.
Each NSW WHS guidelines audit is carried out in accordance with SafeWork NSW expectations and recognised management system audit principles.
A NSW WHS guidelines audit is suitable for any business that must demonstrate compliance with work health and safety obligations. This includes organisations in construction, manufacturing, professional services, and high-risk industries.

A NSW WHS guidelines audit is not always mandatory, but it is one of the most effective ways to demonstrate compliance. Many employers use audits to meet legislative requirements, prepare for SafeWork NSW inspections, support self-insurance arrangements, or provide evidence of due diligence by the chief executive and senior management.
A safety inspection focuses on identifying visible hazards at a point in time. A NSW WHS guidelines audit goes further. It reviews systems, procedures, records, and management practices to determine whether your organisation has an effective, compliant health and safety management framework in place.
Most organisations complete a NSW WHS guidelines audit annually or following significant changes to operations, legislation, or risk profile. Regular audits help maintain compliance, support continuous improvement, and ensure safety systems remain effective as your business evolves.
