Renewable-energy activities can involve different locations, contractors and changing work. Audit evidence should show how the organisation manages the risks relevant to its scope, with specialist assessments where needed.

Questions to follow in an audit

  • Who assesses risks when the work or site changes?
  • How are contractor competence and coordination checked?
  • How do workers raise concerns and participate in review?

Connect the records with practice

Follow a work package from planning and competence checks through site communication and review of an incident or near miss.

These are illustrative audit trails, not findings about a named organisation, technical instructions or a guarantee of a particular result. The appropriate evidence depends on the activities, risks and agreed scope. The organisation remains responsible for its operations and legal obligations.
