A historical fatality figure needs its original reporting period, geography and source. An organisation's audit should focus on its own assessed risks and responsibilities rather than assume that a headline statistic demonstrates its performance.
Questions to follow in an audit
- Which work activities and people are covered by the risk assessment?
- Who reviews changes in relevant safety information?
- What evidence shows that serious concerns receive effective follow-up?

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.
