Self-insurance audit standard
The Department of Justice and Attorney-General is responsible for the administration of the occupational health and safety performance requirements for current and prospective self-insurers. This role includes the accreditation of self-insurer auditors, coordination of audits with self-insurers and reporting of audit findings to Q-COMP.
Employers seeking a self-insurance licence from Q-COMP are required to have an assessment of occupational health and safety performance as part of licence requirements.
An element of this assessment process is a requirement for an OHS management systems audit. The standards that this audit is conducted against the National Self-Insurer OHS Audit Tool.
Audits conducted for the purposes of self-insurance licence requirements are conducted by auditors accredited by Workplace Health and Safety Queensland within the Department of Justice and Attorney-General. Persons wishing to become accredited can apply to Workplace Health and Safety Queensland after addressing the requirements set out in the Self Insurance Accreditation Criteria.
