- What exactly is a facility or environmental health and safety audit?
Environmental health and safety audits or assessments are intended to examine a company’s performance operations, evaluate and verify compliance and conformation with local procedures and practices. Doing so leads to a verification of compliance with legal requirements, internal policies, and/or accepted practices.
- Why conduct these audits?
The actual motivations for conducting environmental health and safety audits vary widely. Companies may conduct audits as a measure of compliance with specific regulations, standard, or policies. They may also be conducted to prioritize and identifying potentially hazardous conditions for which standards may not exist. Additionally, audits have proven to increase overall corporate quality control, increase company morale, and reduce wasted raw materials.
