What must be evaluated in a maintenance audit?

In a maintenance audit, the primary focus is on evaluating the effectiveness of a Health and Safety Management System (HSMS). This audit aims to ensure that safety practices and procedures are functioning as intended and to identify areas where improvements can be made. By concentrating on areas for improvement within the HSMS, the audit assesses compliance with safety regulations, identifies risks, and ultimately works towards enhancing the overall safety performance of the organization.

Other aspects, such as employee satisfaction, company product sales, and market competitiveness, are important in their own right but do not directly pertain to the objectives and scope of a maintenance audit focused on health and safety management systems. Therefore, identifying and evaluating areas for improvement within the HSMS is fundamental to ensuring ongoing safety and compliance in the workplace.
