A human-made practice in which an organization systematically evaluates its own safety posture by comparing actual safety performance, controls, and compliance against established standards, objectives, and regulatory requirements. Parameters: (1) internal evaluators (not external auditors), (2) structured methodology (checklists, frameworks, or benchmarks), (3) recurring cycles (scheduled reassessments), (4) documented outputs (reports, findings, corrective action plans). Persistence mechanism: institutionalized through formal safety management systems, regulatory compliance frameworks, and continuous improvement cycles that embed self-evaluation into organizational routine and record-keeping.
