The Word "Audit" Is Too Often Feared.
But when we announce safety audits, people get excited because now it's their time to contribute to company-wide best practices.
It happens every three to five years — each Nucor division is audited by their peers from other divisions to discover best practices, refine them and share them. The process lasts three days at each location and consists of compliance, program and procedural reviews, along with a unique cultural audit that focuses on employee internalization of safety practices and solicits their additional input to the safety process.
