Abstract
This physical activity and nutrition audit tool is an observational tool which enables employers to gather detailed information about worksite policies and practices. It allows employers to assess the environment in and around each worksite and evaluate how it may influence the health behaviour of their employees. The audit tool is designed to provide an effective and practical way to: identify existing policy and/or practice that may negatively or positively affect employee physical activity and nutrition behaviour; identify any gaps in relation to the promotion of healthy physical activity and nutritional behaviours by employees; provide a measure of how well the workplace environment supports healthy lifestyles; accurately identify areas where management intervention can be targeted; establish benchmarks for re-measurement following intervention.
