Morning DHM Not specifically mentioned in the Act (I think)? Reg 5 of the Management regulations states, '.............for the effective planning, organisation, control, monitoring and review of the preventive and protective measures'. Auditing would come under the requirements to monitor and review.

There is NO legal obligation to 'audit' - the requirement from the Management Regulations (Management of Helath and Safety at Work Regs) Reg 5—(1) Every employer shall make and give effect to such arrangements as are appropriate, having regard to the nature of his activities and the size of his undertaking, for the effective planning, organisation, control, monitoring and review of the preventive and protective measures. 'Monitoring' - includes inspection, accident analysis etc... 'Review' - does not mean audit...

Thanks for prompt responses, 'monitoring and review' will do me for as a proposal for an internal audit document.
