Audit Tools
ASK-EHS provides both standard format, standard topic EHS Audit Protocols as well as specifically tailored
checklists adapted to clients' own internal EHS compliance and management programs. While most companies find
an “off-the-shelf” Audit Protocol to be the most cost-effective, we are aware that for some, “one size does not
fit all”. So we frequently tailor and adapt our Audit Protocols to the specific needs and activities of each site.
The tools used to assess compliance are essential to a successful compliance audit.
Audit Support
Many of our clients organize and carry out their own internal EHS audits, with their own
internal auditing staff. Frequently in such instances, ASKEHS specialist staff who have
prepared the audit checklists are called upon to provide on-site support to the audit team
in the field. Our experts, fluent in the language spoken at the facility, then accompany the
client audit team, lending support in all areas where needed, including:
|
Review and summarizing of official documents, including permits, permit- applications, correspondence, records and official reports
|
|
Translation and interpretation support for interviews with local management and employees
|
|
Regulatory findings and interpretations for situations or circumstances encountered during the audit
|
|
Post-audit follow-up support in researching and providing final regulatory interpretations and citations
