Environmental Audits
Environmental Audits provide a systematic examination of management processes. They help you to improve your existing managements sytem & show if you are compliant with external standards such as ISO 14001.
What do we do for you
A dedicated CHSS Environemntal Consultant will agree the remit for the audit to ensure that it meets your expectations. They gather information from documentation, records, discussions with key staff and a visual inspection of all sites. The Consultant will write a detailed Environmental Audit Report based on the findings which will identify strengths and prioritise action areas for improvement to focus efforts. Prioritised action plans will consider aspects of the management system, environmental policy, organisation and planning.

Aspects & Impacts
A register of environmental aspects and impacts is at the heart of effective environmental performance. It is also a pre-requisite for any company wishing to obtain certification to ISO 14001 standard.
With CHSS' range and depth of experience we can develop the register with you or on your behalf, train your staff in its use and set up by shadowing one of our consultants. The register can also be linked to an existing risk assessment system for health & safety.
If we develop the register for you, a CHSS consultant will carry out an onsite assessment to identify those aspects and impacts relevant to your organisation, make evaluations, report the findings, provide recommendations for controls
Waste Management Audits
The increasing costs associated with waste disposal combined with tighter regulatory systems mean that high standards of waste management are at the heart of cost effective, sustainable environmental management.
