Do you need it?

DOSH inspections can be announced or unannounced. When they arrive, employers have hours — not weeks — to produce machinery registers, HIRARC documents, training records, and incident investigation files. Facilities that scramble to prepare during the inspection rarely pass cleanly.

What happens if you don't

Stop-Work Orders

A failed DOSH audit results in fines, improvement notices, and potentially stop-work orders that halt production. Each day of stopped production costs thousands.

Criminal Prosecution

Repeat failures can lead to prosecution under the OSH Act. Directors face personal liability when systematic safety failures are identified.

Reputational Damage

Failed audits damage your reputation with insurers, clients, and regulators. Some contracts require clean audit history as a pre-qualification criterion.

Signs it's time

You have received a DOSH inspection notification letter
Your last DOSH audit identified non-compliance items that remain unresolved
You are preparing for ISO 45001 certification and need a pre-certification gap check
Your insurance renewal requires a third-party safety audit report
A new client contract mandates supplier safety audit certification
You have never conducted a formal internal safety audit

How we run it

Step 01

Pre-Audit Document Review

We review your existing HIRARC, machinery registers, training records, and incident files before setting foot on site.

Step 02

On-Site Physical Audit

Systematic inspection of every work zone against OSH Act, the OSH Act 1994 [Act 514], as amended in 2022 [Act A1648] and relevant regulations. Photographic evidence for every finding.

Step 03

Gap Analysis Report

A ranked list of compliance gaps — critical, major, minor — with specific regulatory citations and recommended corrective actions.

Step 04

Corrective Action Support

We help you implement fixes: training gaps closed, documentation prepared, engineering controls installed, SOPs written.

Step 05

Verification & Closure

Re-inspection to verify all critical and major gaps are closed. We issue a compliance readiness certificate for your records.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a safety audit take?
A typical SME facility requires 1 day on site. Large industrial complexes with multiple buildings may require 2–3 days. The report is delivered within 5–7 working days.
What standards do you audit against?
We audit against the OSH Act 1994, Occupational Safety and Health (Noise Exposure) Regulations 2019, USECHH 2000, and relevant DOSH industry codes of practice.
Will you share the audit report with DOSH?
No. The audit report is confidential to you. We prepare it in a format that YOU can present to DOSH if you choose, but we do not submit it on your behalf.
Can you accompany us during a DOSH inspection?
Yes. We provide on-site advisory during DOSH inspections to help answer technical questions and present documentation in the format inspectors expect.
What if we fail the audit?
There is no "pass" or "fail" in an internal audit — only gaps identified and prioritised. Our goal is to find and close gaps BEFORE DOSH does. We provide a remediation timeline for every finding.
Can audit support be claimed under HRD Corp?
Naja Safety is an HRD Corp registered training provider (listed as NAJA SAFETY in HRD Corp's e-TRiS training-provider directory). Our programmes are HRD Corp Claimable — subject to your own HRD Corp registration status and the programme submitted. We will confirm before you commit. We can advise on claim eligibility for your specific audit scope.
