AgSafe COMPLIANCE AUDITS

AgSafe conducts voluntary human resources, worker safety, and food safety audits. Each is designed to provide employers with valuable insight into the overall effectiveness and compliance of their human resources, worker safety, and/or food safety programs. A company may choose from two different audit formats: • Written Program Review – An organization’s written human resources, worker safety and/or food safety programs are reviewed. A company may have one, two or all of their programs reviewed. The written program review will include communication of observations found and recommendations. • Written Program Review and Onsite Evaluations – In addition to the review of an organization’s human resources, worker safety, and/or food safety program, AgSafe will perform an onsite evaluation including employee interviews. In a human resources audit, this can include a review of all current employees’ I-9s, as well as reviewing other documents. The worker safety and/or food safety program audit can include a walk-through hazard assessment of all facilities/ equipment with photographic documentation.

• Both types of audits include a follow-up written report noting observations made, recommendations for changes, and any applicable supporting documents, such as samples and templates. The scope of each audit is customized for each company and based on their individual needs. Audit costs vary depending on a variety of factors including audit type, company size, travel, and AgSafe membership status.
