During the month of October, the safety reps are required to perform safety audits of their work unit. To meet DNV ISO requirements, one cannot audit their own work unit. Therefore, the safety reps are partnered with a safety rep outside their work unit to complete these audits. Click here to access the tool to be used for this audit.
The process:
Once the audit is complete, the safety rep meets with the unit manager to review results and obtain their signature. Before submitting the completed audit, the unit manager must complete the corrective action section (last page) of the audit tool. The results of these audits should be reviewed at the next unit/departmental meeting with staff. The completed form with signatures and corrective action plan should be submitted to Kim Grimmett in Facilities Management. Electronic submission of these forms are welcome!
If you have any questions regarding the completion of the safety audit, please contact:
- Kim Grimmett: kgrimmett@houstonmethodist.org or 281.276.8749
- Donna Hermis: dhermis@houstonmethodist.org or 281.274.7039
All completed safety audits hospital wide including the remote locations are due by October 31.
Thank you for making safety your highest priority!
