What type of audit focuses specifically on compliance with safety regulations and standards?

A Safety Audit is specifically designed to evaluate an organization's adherence to safety regulations and standards. This type of audit assesses the effectiveness of safety programs and procedures, ensuring that the workplace meets the required safety compliance criteria. It involves examining various aspects of safety, including equipment usage, employee practices, training programs, and overall workplace environment to identify potential hazards and compliance with relevant laws and regulations.

In contrast, Quality Audits focus on the processes and systems used to maintain product or service quality, Compliance Audits cover adherence to laws and regulations more broadly without a specific focus on safety, and Financial Audits concentrate on the accuracy and integrity of financial statements and accounting records. Thus, Safety Audits are uniquely tailored to ensure safety standards are met within the organization.
