Officer Due Diligence Compliance Assessment

This is colloquially called a "Section 27 audit." A consultant will come to your site and inspect, assess, and report on what actions your directors and CEOs are required to undertake as per Section 27 of the WHS Act. This assessment not only clarifies these obligations but can also support your organisation in preparing for broader compliance activities, including ISO or AS certification audits.
