HazMat Audits

摘要

Hazardous material audits and inspections reduce liability and save money over the long term. Firms that deal with hazardous materials of any kind — from cleaning products to heavy equipment lubricants — can improve worker safety, protect infrastructure and real estate, avoid legal penalties, boost environmental performance and improve the image of the organization. Audits are integral to environmental, health and safety (EH&S) programs that deal with hazardous materials. Audits determine how effectively hazardous materials (HazMat) are managed throughout their lifecycle, including selection, procurement, handling, use, storage, transport and disposal. They also determine the adequacy of plans and procedures, training, internal inspections, record-keeping and reporting. Audits can also provide recommendations to assist the organizations in filling the gaps identified by the audit.
