The article reports on the study that examines the content validity of occupational health and safety (OHS) management audit methods in Canada. A national and consensus-based OHS management standard developed by the Canadian Standards Association has been the definitional standard utilized by the study. The study revealed that some of the current OHS management audit instruments have been incomplete relative to a recent OHS management standard.
