ohsrm Audit Scoring System

The OHS Audit applies a five (5) point ranking system on each audit sub-element question set. In-house auditors should enter a rating of A-E. Half point scores are also accommodated in the audit database. The corresponding score will be used to calculate a percentage. Each sub-element score is tallied allowing for benchmarking between Units.

Description Rating Score
Exemplary performance A 4
Very good implementation with most aspects addressed B 3
Substantial evidence of implementation C 2
Minimum effort D 1
No score E 0

The overall score will be expressed as a percentage i.e. score out of 100.

Where a question or sub-element is not relevant, it is marked N/A. This will indicate that a “no score” applies in that field and that it will not contribute to the overall percentage. The 8 standard audit elements are generally applicable to all units.
