As a safety auditor or inspector, it is our responsibility to find hazards, potential hazards, or dangerous situations to prevent injury, loss of work, and most severely the death of an employee or patron. The primary functions of a safety professional include risk management, accident prevention, and ensuring compliance with workplace safety rules and regulations. Safety auditors are proficient in finding OSHA violations or deficiencies; however, fire protection issues are often overlooked because the safety auditor is unaware or not familiar with their nuances.
