The engagements combined detailed document review, stakeholder interviews and on-site assessments to evaluate how safety policies and procedures were implemented in practice. Prominence worked closely with leadership and operational teams to validate findings and ensure a balanced and evidence-based assessment.
The audits involved navigating a complex framework with extensive criteria, requiring a structured and disciplined approach to ensure findings were robust, accurate and aligned to organisational context. In addition to identifying compliance gaps, the work focused on broader opportunities to strengthen safety governance, accountability and organisational capability.

The reports included practical, prioritised recommendations to support continuous improvement in safety systems and processes. These engagements provided clear guidance to leadership and operational teams, strengthening understanding of safety requirements and supporting a more consistent and effective approach to workplace health and safety. Feedback highlighted the quality, professionalism and practical value of the insights delivered.
