Facility Audits

Facility audits are the backbone of a proactive compliance program.  Over the years, we have found that many of the non-compliance issues are developed from improper training or from improper information  passed  on or improper techniques being used. A periodic facility audit can increase your hazardous material compliance by identifying those problem areas and correcting them on the spot and then reinforcing it with training.

Flexibile Review Process

We currently offer onsite and remote* audits, where achievable. All audits are performed by a subject matter expert. *Not all audits can be performed remotely.

Documented

All audits are completed by providing a documented report of findings. Findings include the reference to the regulations where applicable. Finally, recommendations are provided to correct issues.

Supported

Our work is not completed after the audit. We are available to provide support in implementing and correcting any shortcomings that arose during the audit.
