The primary focus of safety audits is on compliance with safety regulations and the effectiveness of safety programs. Safety audits are systematic assessments aimed at evaluating an organization's adherence to regulatory requirements and its own safety policies. This ensures that the workplace is safe and that all applicable safety legislation is being followed, which ultimately protects employees and the organization from potential hazards and liabilities.

By concentrating on compliance and effectiveness, safety audits help identify potential deficiencies in safety practices, the need for improvements, and the overall effectiveness of implemented safety measures. When organizations conduct these audits, they can proactively address safety issues before they lead to accidents or regulatory penalties, fostering a safer work environment.

Other aspects like employee satisfaction, maximizing productivity, and reducing operational costs, while important in their own rights, are secondary to the fundamental goals of ensuring compliance and the effectiveness of safety programs in creating a safe workplace.
