An organisation handling information about pollutants needs reliable sources and clear responsibilities. An environmental audit can examine how relevant technical and regulatory information is evaluated without making unsupported health or contamination claims.
Questions to follow in an audit
- Who decides whether a pollutant is relevant to the operations?
- How are technical information and applicable obligations checked?
- What happens when new information changes the assessment?
Connect the records with practice
Trace one relevant substance through its information sources, assessment, assigned actions and management review.
These are illustrative audit trails, not findings about a named organisation, technical instructions or a guarantee of a particular result. The appropriate evidence depends on the activities, risks and agreed scope. The organisation remains responsible for its operations and legal obligations.
AAA provides independent certification audits. Confirm the applicable standard edition, scope and customer requirements before agreeing a programme. Request an indicative price or discuss your proposed audit.
