Whether or not you have your own OHS team, an independent audit always sees different things. That's exactly what a third-eye audit is for.
A third-eye audit is an on-site inspection carried out by a team independent of the workplace's own OHS team. People who work the same site for a long time gradually become used to risk and stop seeing it. An outside audit breaks that blindness; findings are reported in order of priority.
Someone present on the same site every day gradually starts seeing risk as part of the scenery. This isn't carelessness — it's a natural consequence of human perception.
The precaution written in the risk assessment and the precaution actually applied on site gradually drift apart. This gap is usually noticed only from the outside.
An independent check carried out before an official inspection catches shortcomings that could turn into an administrative penalty — while they can still be corrected.
Large organisations with their own OHS team, multi-site companies, and firms already working with an OSGB. A third-eye audit doesn't replace the existing service — it exists to see what that service can't.
