You are invited to tender for the internal audit of MG ALBA’s Health & Safety Management function. Staff are located at BBC premises in Glasgow and Inverness but MG ALBA’s main offices most of the staff are in Stornoway, Isle of Lewis and it is here that site work, subject to Scottish Government COVID-19 restrictions, for the audit will take place. This site includes offices, workshop, TV and radio studios and gallery and post production facilities. We also have several tenants occupying offices in Stornoway. The site work will, given current restrictions, consist of a site inspection and interviews with relevant personnel. It is anticipated that a briefing meeting takes place with the successful applicant by 30th November 2020 via Skype or Zoom with the audit fieldwork completed by 31 December 2020, a draft report submitted for management comment by 22 January 2021 and a final report to be presented to the Audit & Assurance Committee in mid-February 2021 (date to be finalized).

The general remit of the internal audit is to assess and report on the efficiency, effectiveness and reliability of the Health & Safety management system at MG ALBA, draw up plans for any necessary corrective action and ensure that the Health & Safety procedures and policies reflect current legislation
