About this scheme
The Government of Haryana’s Safety Audit Scheme supports Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in conducting safety audits and installing safety equipment. Its purpose is to reduce workplace hazards and raise industrial safety standards. The scheme treats safety audits as a core instrument for improving workplace safety and safety-related attitudes.
The programme provides an inventory or checklist tailored to an enterprise’s operations, enabling MSMEs to detect and rectify hazards and meet their safety targets. It also creates a baseline for measuring safety performance against future initiatives, documents the effectiveness of safety programmes, identifies compliance gaps, and recommends safety solutions. The expected outcomes include a safer environment for personnel, fewer incidents and injuries, and a higher overall level of workplace safety.
