Companies that have ISO 14001 certification (Environmental Management System) need to have environmental compliance audits to conform to part 4.5.2 of the standard. This is the part that pertains to evaluation of compliance. An environmental compliance audit by a third party provides you with a fresh pair of eyes that will assist in evaluation of your operations.

Companies that have OHSAS 18001 certification (Health and Safety Management System) need to have a health and safety compliance audit to assist in identification of risks in the operation. It also identifies the safety regulations that are pertinent to your operations.

Compliance audits should provide you with the documentation you need to ensure that you take the corrective action that you need. Safety Manpower provides an “Action Needed” section at the end of our reports that will summarize the actions needed to come into compliance based on what we observed during the audit.
