The BASE Audit was developed by forest industry health and safety experts as a fundamental measurement tool to assess health and safety programs. It is designed around common auditing principles, and gives a real time, practical evaluation of a company’s program.
Companies can use the BASE audit informally to gauge their safety programs and make improvements, or formally to record their program for the purposes of SAFE certification.
