Third-Party Environmental Audit — A Tool for Industrial Environmental Compliance

Publication: World Environmental and Water Resource Congress 2006: Examining the Confluence of Environmental and Water Concerns

Abstract

Industrial facilities environmental, health and safety (EH&S) audits are accomplished via either self and/or third-party audit(s). The periodic third-party environmental audit of industrial facilities is included to verify the facility compliance with various environmental requirements of a given geographical location, and evaluate facility's routine environmental control practices. The third-party environmental auditor would be responsible for conducting a comprehensive review of facility's operations and confirming whether the facility is in environmental compliance. This paper included: pre-audit communications and the review of facility environmental information; site environmental-audit elements and audit conductance; and, the post-audit review of facility operations information and preparation and submission of the final audit report. The environmental audit should include all applicable environmental regulatory and permitting requirements of state, federal, and local regulating agencies.
