National Audit Tool (NAT)

What is the National Audit Tool (NAT)?

The NAT is based on the Safety Systems Management Standard and incorporates best practices from other industry-accepted audit tools. It provides a common set of criteria that can be used by both organisations themselves (internal audits) and regulators (external audits) to assess OHS compliance and identify areas for improvement.

NAT compliance demonstrates your commitment to worker safety and helps identify areas for improvement in your OHS systems.

Benefits of using the NAT

• Improved worker safety: By identifying weaknesses in your OHS systems, you can take steps to prevent workplace accidents and injuries.
• Reduced costs: Effective safety management can lead to lower workers’ compensation premiums and other safety-related costs.
• Enhanced compliance: The NAT helps ensure your organisation meets its legal obligations regarding worker safety.
• Demonstrated commitment to safety: NAT certification can be a valuable tool for demonstrating your commitment to a safe work environment for stakeholders and potential clients.
