Why operators use it
We use ASSURE-02 to turn the audit programme into consistent evidence-based questions that test whether each important SMS control is present, suitable, operating and effective in the real work.
ASSURE-01 decides what to audit, why it matters, who can audit it objectively and how deep the review needs to be. ASSURE-02 is the working audit tool. It stops an audit becoming a memory test or a document-signing exercise by giving every criterion the same essential structure: the audit question, suitable evidence, linked SMS tools/forms and governing reference. It also creates space for factual evidence and result notes.
