Risk assessment audit template

[john]

Hi
As I,dare I say it, an Inspecting Officer who looks at peoples Risk Assements. Does anyone know if there is a auditing template available to audit RA.
As you can imagine we get good and bad. Some based on the 5 steps or PAS 79 any others on well i`m not sure.
Any help appreciated.

If you mean a template for you as the I/O to use as a record of your audit, a number of FRSs have one. For example Dorset use one promulgated by CFOA in the region. I probably have a copy if you are stuck.

It is an early draft of an audit policy that CFOA/Hampshire FRS and GMC FRS are trying, with the ODPM to agree.

The latest draft has undergone several revisions/simplifications in condjunction with Cath Reynold at the ODPM Stats (apologise if I've got that wrong), but if you can wait for a few months there should be an agreed version available.

Ideally the process should be IT based, (tablet PC or PDA) but budgets are tight, (except for anti terrorist work, zzzz), at the moment and it will work as a paper based process.

There is a huge amount of work behind the scences to prepare for the RRO. It is an opportunity to get our audit/inspection/education/advisory policies much better but as ever, fire safety in its broadest sense is never near the top of anyone's 'must do' list.

Thanks to both of you. I now have both copies.
