Importance of Regular Safety Audits

I’ve been reviewing our recent safety audits, and I’m really struck by how much more effective we could be with a more regular schedule. Just last month, we identified a critical hazard that had been overlooked for too long. Keeping up with these audits not only helps us comply with regulations but also significantly reduces the risk of incidents on-site. What practices do you all find most helpful in ensuring these audits are thorough and effective?
