A business near land vulnerable to wildfire may need to consider how an external event could affect its operations and environmental controls. Certification cannot prevent a wildfire or establish that a particular historical fire would have been avoided.
Questions to follow in an audit
- How is relevant external environmental information considered?
- Which environmental controls could be affected by disruption?
- How are preparedness arrangements tested and reviewed?
