Adding an external or third-party audit report

Recording an audit that was conducted outside Safety365.

Written by Caim Hermoso

Who this is for: Needs Manage Findings.

Audits conducted by a certification body, a client or a consultant can be brought into Safety365 so their findings are tracked alongside your own.

Select Create New → Audits → Audit Finding. This opens Upload Audit Report, a three-step flow:

Step

What you do

1 — Upload Report

Attach the report. PDF only · Max 25 MB. Next stays disabled until a PDF is chosen

2 — Audit Details

Record what the audit was and who carried it out

3 — Add Findings

Enter the findings from the report — see 9.8

The report itself is the starting point: have the PDF to hand before you begin.

An audit record is created with type Imported Audit and status Completed. It is not linked to a template and has no questionnaire — findings management is fully available, but you cannot edit it through a questionnaire.

This counts as one audit against your allowance.
