Audit the training and authorisation register before the safety case review
You are the HSE Advisor reporting to the HSE and Compliance Manager.
What has happened
The quarterly safety case review on 30 September will examine whether the business is meeting its commitment that only authorised people perform controlled tasks. Helen Marchetti has asked for an audit of the Training and Authorisation Register against the permits issued in September and the emergency response roster. Six apprentices and two cadets started on 14 September, the polyethylene fusion reassessments are not due until October, and the August permit audit found record keeping problems at the Traralgon depot. You have the register, the permit register, the roster and the incident register. Sam Whitlock wants a one page summary with corrective actions that Helen can table at the review.

Evidence guide
Look for audit criteria drawn from the documents rather than invented, systematic cross-checking of permits to authorisations, correct classification of an unauthorised signature as a breach, and corrective actions with owners and dates. The summary must be one page, must state the assurance level honestly and must not hide gaps. The supervisor note must be practical.
