The methodology contained in the document is thus based on experience gained in previous audits and in other related actions carried out by dialogue and safe work. Importantly, the methodology does not provide a basis for criticism of specific national legislation, policies programs, or administrative procedures per se, but rather enables auditors to analyze the system for applying them in practice and to compare them with other national standards.

The concept of good labour practices has been in use for the past several years in a very wide and general sense, as a synonym for all kinds of successful experiences in the world of work. As a preliminary approximation, a good practice can be defined as any experience guided by appropriate principles, objectives and procedures, and/or any advisable guidelines in line with a certain normative perspective or a consensus-based standard, as well as any experience that has produced positive results by proving to be effective and useful in a given context. The above notwithstanding, the concept of good practices is generally used in an spontaneous, unregulated way, with reference to any experience subjectively considered as successful from a wide variety of points of view, with no pre-established minimum benchmarks that might make it possible to identify such experiences in objective terms. It should be pointed out that good practice is a dynamic concept, one that can evolve and change over time. A practice may be considered positive, even consensus-based, and yet evolve in the direction of conflict or other undesirable manifestations.
